It appears as if Amazon reviewers are having a good ol’ time writing reviews for Carrot Top’s 1998 film Chairman of the Board. I’ve never seen Chairman of the Board, but oh my God are some of these reviews absolutely hilarious.
From Amazon reviewer Rob Morrison:
“I have one word to describe the experience of seeing this movie - floored. Not since “Becket” with Richard Burton and Peter O’Toole (chronicling the unsteady friendship between Henry II and the Archbishop of Canterbury in 12th century England)have I been so impressed with performances by two actors. Larry Miller plays the antagonist with such deft nuance a lesser critic would swear he couldn’t act, until the climax arises wherein he chews scenery until his gums bleed. Carrot Top steals scenes and hearts with a continuous stream of hijinks, tomfoolery, and shenanigans that makes us laugh until we realize at the end of the movie that he’s also taught us how to love.”
From Amazon reviewer Rich King’s Breakfast Nook:
“This story is just gripping and takes you on an emotional roller coaster you could only simulate if your cat died, followed by intercourse with Pam Anderson, followed by an infomercial on Tony Robbins, topped off with a Pizza Party thrown at your house by Jay Leno. I was so emotionally spent after this film, I called in sick to work for the next 5 days. Do yourself a favor and see this masterpiece.”
From Amazon reviewer A Customer:
“This film is a most Kafka-esque experience, with shades of Fellini. Like a canvas by Van Gogh, or an aria by Pavorotti, this film captured our imaginations and our hearts. Like Xanadu in Citizen Kane, Carrot Top’s tragic comic hero Edison resides in a majestic environment that is not only a tribute unto himself but a evocation of the spirit of the American Dream. He taps into our secret desire for success by our own right on our own terms. Move over John Wayne, we have a new American Hero! Not to mention the bravado performance by Larry Miller, truly the John Barrymore of the frat house set. Like the tragic comic hero Paggliacci, Carrot Top takes our most private fears and desires and throws them up on the screen and analyzes them to the point that we sit in the theatre, a smile on our lips and a tear in our eyes.”
From Amazon reviewer G. Gibson:
“Chronicling Frank Sinatra’s heyday with Capitol Records, Chairman of the Board reaches heights heretofore unseen in the crowded biopic genre. Carrot Top’s emulation of Sinatra is almost eerie in its accuracy, ranking with Jon Voigt’s turn as Howard Cosell in the 2001 film about Muhammad “Sugar Ray” Ali. I’m man enough to admit I cried at the end of Act I, when Sinatra—fulfilling his father’s dying wish—gives up prop comedy for good.”
