40 years old or 10 years old? - Clifford (1994) 

I love how Mark is explaining his take on the movie, in a such way, as if he's actually holding a genuine conversation with you. Great review buddy, keep up the good work!

When Fred Savage was told a story by an old man, he got The Princess Bride. When Ben Savage was told a story by an old man, he got...this.

“Who cares the movies almost over” - Mark almost every episode

honestly your idea of the guy getting caught in a lie and having to pretend to be a kid actually sounds kind of legitimately awesome

I was watching this and wondered if Charles Grodin was still alive, so I looked him up, only to discover that he had just died today, on the same day I was watching the video. Great actor. RIP.

One of my fav movies ever. Everytime I show it to someone they turn to me and say, "how the hell did I not know this existed."

Martin Short is a treasure, which is why his career has been underground for decades.

“There’s probably a no fly list for people who try to crash a plane.” 🤣🤣🤣

This is one of those movies where my dad would yell for me, to get me to come downstairs and watch with him. We’d find all kinds of crazy/weird movies, like Lars and the Real Girl, Tankgirl, etc.

I was like 13 when this came out. The part where Charles Grodin tells Clifford to “Look at me like a human child!” *still* cracks me up. I am in TEARS 😆

I love Clifford. It's been a while, time for a rewatch.

I love this movie. Can't explain why but I can't stop laughing when I watch it. The part where he tries to get him to "act like a human boy" gets me everytime. 🤣😂

At least the poster isn’t misleading like 90 percent of these other movies

need a reworked version of this movie where uncle martin beats cliff to death with a rolled up newspaper

Oh man. I *am* one of the people who grew up loving this movie.

I have fond memories of watching Clifford when I was young.

He loves kids just as much as he loves dogs... like a St. Bernard!

When this movie came out I was in my 20's studying Urban Planning and I had an annoying ten year old nephew who loved this movie and he made me watch it several times. I kept thinking this movie was the story of my nephew and me.

You totally fixed the movie ;)

As a kid I always thought Charles Grodin and Steve Martin were the same person.

This was one of my favorite movies as a kid. Watching it as an adult I'm still laughing but it's so absurd I don't see how anyone without a nostalgic connection to it would enjoy it.

“It’s like a sweater up there.” 🤣 Best joke

"I've never seen a movie where a 40 year old is playing a 10 year old." Umm Jack with Robin Williams (RIP)

As always, good episode Mark! I am still waiting for "Jupiter Ascending".

Mark. I am part of that Cult. I love this movie. I view it as if it was a SNL skit turned into a movie and then it is freaking hilarious. Better yet, it is a stranger version of MAD TV Stuart.

It's great that I'm still finding old episodes that I haven't seen yet.

Just started my lunch break at work and was thinking "damn today has been shit." Saw a new Mark video and it changed my mood. Love your channel man, thanks for giving us content so often nowadays!

The whole "can you just act like a normal human being?" part makes the movie worth it to me.

Mark... You are the first person I considered paying patron for. I am extremely broke, on food stamps, so I can't, but st least I am watching your videos on repeat, letting tun the ads as I often out your vids in the background when I sleep.

That shot of him sleeping has never left me for some reason

Grew up watching this movie as a kid, good times...

John Ford's The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance had John Wayne and Jimmy Stewart, both in their 50's, playing 20 year olds. And also had a 50 year old playing a teenager.

My dad showed me this movie when I was a kid and I still love it.

I know it's messed up, but I love this film. I'm in the cult.

The faces the actors do MAKE the movie😂

i freaking loved this movie as a kid. watched it at least 15 times.

Among my friends, this movie was up there with Home Alone. I honestly thought everyone else liked it too, and as I got older, I realized that not only did far less people even know about this movie than I thought, but most people actively hated it.

This was a hilarious movie. Me and my sister both loved this movie growing up. We always reference it once in a while

I've seen this movie so many times and I still love it!!

I remember renting this movie as a kid, it was so weird yet funny how much Clifford was hated. I never forget Stefen the Dinosaur.

my man... "look at me like a human boy"... is one of the funniest bits in cinema history.

I remember this movie! My brother used to watch it and a friend of mine. Agreed, though. "What About Bob?" is such a good comedy. Really underrated and too little brought up. I feel the same way about "Dutch".

I love Charles Grodin, he was great in "Midnight Run"

Mark: "I dont think I've ever seen a movie that tried to pass off a forty year old man as a ten year old boy" Me: "Then you've never seen the 2002 Pinocchio movie starring Roberto Benigni"

Take note at how dedicated they were to making Uncle Martin that tall compared to Clifford. In reality the actors are about 3inches apart

Nice review. I'd say this film falls right under "Howard the Duck" or "Drop Dead Fred" category. Their weirdness is so out there it's almost inevitable they're gonna strike a chord with some people. And usually you either love or hate these kinds of movies, there's just no in-between. But they will always find an audience.

I think that maybe a writer for the show "Mad TV" liked this movie a lot.

This actually sounds pretty funny in a bizarre way. Now I want to see it

One of my fav movies as a kid! LMAO

This movie falls into my "comfort movies" list from the 80s/90s. Things like Clue, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, The Birdcage, 9 to 5, Three Amigos etc. They always give me the vibe of summer family vacations for some reason. As a kid, I wanted to ride that Dinosaur World coaster so bad. Also, if I had to pick one person for some weird scenario like...to go up on a stage alone with no planned material, props...and just be straight up funny... it's Martin Short. Dude is just so good at being naturally funny.

I'm gonna be serious, I know this movie since I was a little kid and I love it. If you really don't focus on the actual age of Martin Short or perhaps even be able to forget it, it's really a funny and entertaining film And What about Bob is one of my favorite films ever

Mark always drops a vid right when I need it.

My wife and I just watched “What About Bob?” - It’s been a favorite of mine since it came out

I loved this movie as a kid. Just because of the dinosaurs. I always thought it was about a very, very childish man. I had no idea till today that he's actually supposed to be a child...

"what about bob?" is a classic

This was one of my favorite movies as a kid! I'm stoked.

"I just hate communicating" Well, thankfully you love bad movies, Mark!

Omg!!! Yes I’ve wanted you to review this for as long as I’ve been subscribed!!!

Poor Charles Grodin, no luck with nephews and dogs.

The dinner corn scene still gets me

Ah I think he just wrote the script to Adam Sandler’s next movie

I'm so happy you mentioned "what about Bob". I love that movie.

I say, "Any luck with that chocolate. Any. Luck. With.That Chocolate." Randomly at least twice a year.

I love when Mark has his flashback to grade or high school. That recorder sound use to be the worst!

"I dont think i ever seen a movie that tried to pass off a 40 year old man as a 10 year old boy" Just check Roberto Benigni as Pinnochio.

Your idea having Martin Short play a 10 year old for his buddy would have been so much better.

I had a crush on Mary Steenburgen ever since Back to the Future part 3

I used to love this movie as a kid, it's like you've unlocked a buried memory for me 😂

I hoped you was going to suggest "What About Bob?" before you actually did. I love it! Richard Dreyfus played his character so believably and sympathetically in such a brilliant way that I didn't understand as a kid, but now I completely understand how he was slowly driven insane. All the little twitches he would do and his facial expressions were hilarious! Such an underrated gem!

I went to school in the midwest and I totally remember music class having us to purchase recorders to play.

You say this movie isn't good. But I can't stop laughing. That scene where he is telling him to look like a human boy gets me everytime... And speaking as an ex college age partier, if you throw a free party in a house like that...You don't have to spread the word, that shit will be packed.

Mark’s idea for the movie is so much better and funnier than the actual plot of the movie

Gonna say, I think it was just a movie that you HAD to be there. Seeing this at 15. Was a different time and era in 1994.

That shot of Matin Short on the cover of the VHS is a thing nightmares are made and perfectly encapsulates what this movie is and the carnival crazy house you're about to experience.

I remember getting this from blockbuster on VHS way back when I was a kid I was hoping it had a big red dog in it....it doesn't have a big red dog in it

I've figured it out: your voice and delivery are the love child of Jerry Seinfeld and H. Jon Benjamin. Love the channel, keep up the good work!

What About Bob is one of my favorites comedies

When Mark asked how Clifford got so many guests to the party, or how Clifford blew up his uncle's presentation, it shows Mark was taking the film too seriously, as this film was never intended to be plausible or logical; it's just supposed to be a fun, silly, over-the-top movie led by Short's hilarious performance. If Mark rewatched this film that way, i think he may actually enjoy it. *Also, Grodin was great in this role, as well. :)

I remember watching this movie as a kid and being so confused by Martin Short playing a kid that was my age.

I agree, the plot of having an adult pretending to be a kid to help out a mate, could be very funny.

You picked a hard target with this one. This movie is a true underrated classic, imo. Hilarious from beginning to the end. A lot of comedies like this came out in the 90s. Some succeeded (Billy Madison, Ace Ventura, Tommy Boy), and some didn't, but went on to be cult classics (Hocus Pocus, Houseguest, Cabin Boy etc). This movie is one of the latter. Its audience is around. We're here.

8:09 “Any luck with that CHOClate” has me in tears yo

New cocktail called "The K-9" (a fifth of Beethoven with a splash of Clifford)

Oh my God, CLIFFORD! I haven't watched the video yet, I just got excited.

'What About Bob' is a masterpiece.

I had never heard of this movie before and now, thanks to you, I will never be able to forget it. Thanks for that!

Bill Murray: I'll be quiet. Kid: And I'll be Peace.

Time for a rewatch. Even as a kid, Clifford pissed me off to no end!

I sure Charles Grodin would rather deal with Beethoven over Clifford.

I watched this as a kid which is why I think it holds such a nostalgic following. 11 year old me loved it.

I love Clifford!! I think its one of those polarizing dark comedy movies where either it’s for you or it’s not for you. However, I think it’s biggest problem is that there are no likable characters to root for.

Marks ideas is 100x better than the actual plot lol

i always marvel at charles grodin getting acting work in comedy movies. i guess he is the ultimate straight man curmudgeon, never having done or said anything funny, or even cracked a smile.

Mark helping us survive 20-21, only youtuber I'd give patron to. Love your channel best videos to watch when I've had a horrible day at work.

Mark. You need to write the screenplay for this "play my nephew for a week" movie. I'd watch that 👍

A comedy between Kevin James and Kevin Hart?, sign me in! Also, take for example the mexican comedy tv series "El Chavo del 8", Roberto Gomez was 40 at the time and he portrayed the main character of an 8 year old boy...

Love this film! Saw it in the theater and bought it on DVD

Martin Short is a funny looking dude and his expressions go a long way in making me laugh, but man, these early 90's comedies like this and Problem Child (a movie I suspect you will get to Mark) were so distinctly obnoxious.

This is crazy, as soon as I saw him when he's old I remembered this movie and watching it as a child. I forgot all about it and I'm glad I did.

RiP Charles Grodin who passed away today.
