Rating: - It is most certainly a "Bootleg"...
The original title was "The Ratings Game".The copy sold here on Amazon is definately a "Bootleg" copy released by an unknown production company.The picture is barely watchable and is "hazy" at times.The movie itself is quite funny and well worth 10 or 12 bucks if you can get a decent copy.Bring this one out every 4-5 years or so,otherwise more frequent viewings will cause it to lose its' appeal.The fictional cartoon in the movie titled "Goombah's" should tell you what type of laughs that you'll get with this cult movie from the mid 80's.
Rating: - If you find another source...
If you find another source for this movie, pursue it!
I liked the movie very much, and saw it first produced on Showtime Entertainment. This copy appears to be burn made from someone's TV set.
Good movie for cheesy fun films, poor quality recording.
Rating: - BIG LOW-BROW LAUGHS!
This movie is hilarious. Danny Devito is a thug with Hollywood dreams, and his mob-ties make them all come true. Just imagine the endless possabilities! Absolutely stupid-funny!

So what happens when a mobbed up New Jersey trucking magnate comes to California with dreams of becoming a TV producer?

Written by Michael Barrie and Jim Mulholland, both former writers for The David Letterman Show and directed by Danny DeVito (he also stars in the movie), features his wife Rhea Perlman ("Cheers"). Also appearing is an extensive list ... Read More
Rating: - Don't buy this title!!
This title is the bootleg title for a film called the The Ratings Game. I'm no sure why Amazon is selling this on their web site.
The quality of this DVD is terrible, I was suspicious when I got it. The DVD case
and the DVD itself look like they were home made.
Having said all this, knockoff or not this is a bad film with a lot of big names in it.
It's like they were trying to make something campy and failed big time. I expected more of Danny DeVito.
