| Slant MagazineZach CampbellIt's some of the seldom-seen UFOs in Brian De Palma's career that can dramatically alter one's perception of his work. |
| Reel Film ReviewsDavid NusairA typically worthless early effort from Brian De Palma... |
| User ReviewEric BBrian De Palma made a name for himself with his independent films Greetings (1968) and Hi, Mom! (1970), with that, Warner Bros. offered him a Hollywood film with this lighthearted satirical comedy about the madness of the rat race and how we want to escape it. It was shelved for 2 years after wrangling and uncertainty about how to sell it, shame really. Successful businessman Donald Beeman (Tom Smothers) is sick with being stuck in a Nine to Five routine, having to keep to deadlines and the punctuality and repetitive nature of his work, and one day, he just gets up and walks out, quits his job and trains to become a traveling tap dancing magician under the teachings of Mr. Delasandro (Orson Welles). Meanwhile, Beeman's boss Mr. Turnbull (John Astin) is desperate to get Beeman back to work, but it eventually costs Turnbull his job, he's now a drifter and Beeman employs him as his business manager, and while Beeman is travelling across America, Turnbull's new company grows to become one of the biggest corporations in the World, Tap Dancing Magicians (TBM). It is very much like a Richard Lester comedy, with very surreal humour carrying it along, but it has hints De Palma's technical trickery that he would used in Phantom of the Paradise (1974) and The Bonfire of the Vanities (1990). Smothers is a likeable presence and he holds his own against pro's like Welles and Astin, the result is one of the best kept secrets of the 1970's. |
| User ReviewElijah BGet to Know Your Rabbit is an early comedy of Brian De Palma's which is a fantastically ridiculous. It follows a dissatisfied business man (Tom Smothers) whom leaves his job in order to become a tap-dancing magician. This film revels in its absurdity, and its a just a lot of fun. De Palma loves his overheads and tracking shots in this film, and they work well, creating this absurd surrealism. Orson Welles even shows up as the business man's trainer, when he wishes to become a tap-dancing magician. It's a relatively small part, but Welles is great as always. The more I hear people say they think De Palma is overrated or sucks, the more I believe they just havent gone deep enough into his early works. De Palma may be known more for his early 90's late 80s fare, but in my humble opinion his best work came in the 70s and early 80s. |
| User ReviewBill CLow-key, odd but consistent comedy starring good-natured Smothers as an office drone who seeks an escape the grind of corporate life and Astin as his boss who tries to follow his lead with schizophrenic results. Tim Carey is hilarious in a brief bit. |
| User ReviewGordon BThis early effort from Brian DePalma has drugs, magic tricks, female nudity, and a Orson Wells cameo, now if it could only make a story appear out of all that mess they would really have something here. |
