Brain Donors (1992) When a major studio release runs under 75 minutes, you know disastrous
previews prompted drastic pruning. An uncredited remake of A
Night at the Opera, this casts John Turturro as an unfunny
Groucho, Mel Smith as a non Italian Chico and Bob Nelson (who?) as a
talking Harpo. With Nancy Marchand as Margaret Dumont, some bland lovers
and a sneery ballet dancer villain, all the ingredients (including a
harp joke) are in place as lawyer Turturro runs a ballet company into
the ground. While the lead trio stoop to imitating the Three Stooges,
they all come out collectively as somewhat less amusing than Zeppo on
a bad day. Really, really foul. First Published In: Empire (issue unknown) Visit Kim's Official Website at www.johnnyalucard.com
