The life of Queens resident Dino Condito is about to take a surprising turn. After letting down his softball team by striking out in the bottom of the ninth against Hoboken, his crew brands him the chooch. Trying to cheer up his cousin Dino, Jubilene Condito cashes in his savings from his first holy communion and springs for a vacation to Cancun. You mean leave Queens? asks Dino, as if the thought had never occurred to him. But there's a mix-up on the way to the airport involving a mysterious bag of money. As soon as Dino and Jube land in Mexico, they're abducted by a pair of thugs and left in the desert at the mercy of a trio of soldiers. It takes reuniting Dino's old Queens crew, including Dino's beloved pet dachsund, to save the two cousins. Only after a jail bust, donkey ride, chicken coop explosion, and a life-changing love affair at the local bordello does the crew finally arrive to save the day. Returning home in triumphant glory with his reunited crew and newfound love Ladonna, Dino discovers the meaning of family, friendship and neighborhood.

| DVDTalk.comScott WeinbergAn absolute chore to sit through, unless you happen to come from the same block as the filmmakers, in which case you might produce a few charitable chuckles, just to be nice. |
| User ReviewDaniel PNow, in terms of a "good work of film," Chooch fails in about every single category imaginable. The plot feels like a bunch of scenes from someone's home video collection strung together with little to no thought. The dialogue is ridiculous. The characters are stereotypical and absurd (save the Mayor...he's just absurd). The protagonist is utterly dislikable and burro on the cover is in the movie for 2, maybe 3 minutes. The ending is horrically forced, and Mexicans are portrayed as lazy, moronic pieces of shit throughout the whole film. And it is all of these reasons that make Chooch one of the, if not THE, most unintentionally entertaining thing I have ever watched, right up there with Teen Witch and Matrix III. The Mayor is THE greatest character in any movie. Period. |
| User ReviewShannon KUtter badness! And yes, I own it. But I swear we only bought it because of the donkey on the cover. I mean, I like ignorant humor as much as the next guy, but this is definitely pushing it! |
