[@Collageman90]

Well you know it's a bad sign when John Travolta has a passion project that comes out of development hell.

[@JaycRam]

Travolta's choices in projects lately have been questionable. If he ever signs on for a fourth Look Who's Talking movie, Tarantino will have no choice but to come along and re-resurrect the man's career.

[@zakkizer2490]

though QT and Pulp Fiction did clear the way for Travolta to get funding for Battlefield Earth, so maybe his career should stay dead this time

[@OneColdMonkey]

"John Travolta." "Passion project." *red alarms everywhere* I do appreciate we're seeing how this played in Peoria, however.

[@merrittanimation7721]

(flashes back to Battlefield Earth)

[@stuartdunlop8834]

Execubot Beta, is that you?

[@FilipCordas]

Well we all know who's to blame for this, your friendly bartender.

[@josephsanti6219]

Wasn't Battlefield Earth a "Passion Project" of Travolta? His passions are always bombs.

[@Logan912]

"It's not very good." Should I trust the fans of the movie or two trolls in a car? ;)

[@danielthenorwegianguy]

Logan Palmer trust yourself

[@divaah4406]

I liked it.

[@Greendalewitch]

Trolls in a car that are apparently filming on top of a cliff. The background is ridiculously beautiful.

[@kingofkongisland]

Every review of it indicates that it is crap..but go ahead..buy it if you are confident it will be awesome.

[@anikmonette2140]

@@danielthenorwegianguy I was about to say that, because "trusting" anyone else's taste is utterly moronic. That's why I don't necessarily trust my friend when it comes to movies or music as we have different tastes and perspectives. Same for him(our tastes often intersect but if we recommend stuff to each other it comes with some caveats).

[@heymistercarter.]

You know, if this and Battlefield Earth are anything to go by, don’t let John Travolta try to make his passion project films!

[@jokerz7936]

God no you let him make more.

[@Clay3613]

Sounds like this wasn't his fault, the movie was in Development Hell for nearly a decade.

[@captcrais101]

trc2rockon well John Travolta is a great actor. Every great actor has good films and bad. John Travolta is no different.

[@SilverSurfer166]

As soon as I heard Brad say that this film was a "Passion Project" for Travolta, I thought about Battlefield Earth too. I wonder...was Gotti a Scientologist?

[@tintinismybelgian]

I'm still waiting for a sequel to "From Paris with Love."

[@SaskRider2]

I heard it Gotti ZERO on Rotten Tomatoes.

[@2012killjoy]

SaskRider2 oh dad.....*facepalm*

[@freetrailer4poor]

It is like 63 audience and no professional reviews

[@robinhoodwasasocialist.1401]

SaskRider2 😁👉YES......YES!

[@lukes7027]

This was the first time I ever walked out of a movie since 1979!

[@akiameko1984]

I thought this movie looked good in the trailers, but this review is honestly the nicest I've seen anyone be to it.

[@Magmaster13]

Brad your wife is a saint for putting up with to do this

[@SpongeyTheEditor]

I never even heard of this until that thing with the movie's Twitter, lol.

[@CatLives9]

That wasn't Brian in the "Superfly" review. Brad just gave Laura a Snickers right afterwards.

[@StonedGremlinProductions]

Winning comment of the week :D

[@brentacomoose]

Brad: Honey, have a Snickers. Laura: Why? Brad: Cause you enslave people when you're hungry.

[@Boobalopbop]

I had a feeling this was going to be crap when I saw Travolta and John Gotti Jr. doing an interview with CNN and Travolta was so angry and defensive and Jr was just going on about how charming and handsome his father was and how much his suits cost.

[@BruceGiffordJustMyOpinion]

As being someone who knew nothing about John Gotti, I can attest to just how confused I was seeing this movie. Glad you thought it was random and had no flow. Funny this gets uploaded just after I finish editing my own review.

[@SilverSurfer166]

It's so stupid for the Movie Studios to say that Movie Critics are just trolls, and that they wanted to hate this movie going in. According to the Studios, they have never made a Bad Movie, they only make great movies, but the Critics are just trolls and you shouldn't trust anyone who doesn't love this movie. What a load of crap. A bad movie is a bad movie, no matter who says it sucked, the audience or a critic.

[@entertherussian6457]

You’re one of the 10 people in America who actually saw this movie

[@prestonfontana8416]

Good job, Mr. Travolta! No other actor has three zero percent rotten tomato scores on their resume. It takes effort to be this bad!

[@captcrais101]

Preston Fontana Every great actor has good movies and bad.

[@Valdagast]

He also has six movies at 90% or more. He's a bit like Nic Cage, he makes good movies good and bad movies hilarious.

[@luffyduffy7817]

TROOLL

[@freetrailer4poor]

Seems the haters of Scientology trash the guy at all costs.

[@luffyduffy7817]

...I was mocking the fact that the PR team for this movie is openly calling everyone who dislikes this movie a troll...

[@isheetfromaswhole3657]

Didn't Ben Affleck star in a mafia movie where he said " Stick a fork in me because I'm done." Gigi? Gigli? Giggles? It was bad.

[@captcrais101]

todd johnson well Ben Affleck is doing better in films now since he directs some of them now.

[@noreehix5714]

todd johnson Gigli

[@debysteele3806]

Gigli is also the film where JLo indicates that it's time to use the old turkey baster for impregnating her by saying " gobble gobble". Yuck.

[@debysteele3806]

@@captcrais101 I don't care for his acting but as a director he's great. "Gone Baby Gone" is awesome...

[@geoffreysorkin5774]

Gigli isn't that bad, At least, as a comedy it isn't that bad.

[@wdfmidevil]

This movie has a Pitbull song playing at a party........in the 80’s

[@DonaldRilea]

Judging from the review here, it seems to me, particularly with the description of the use of the songs listed, that the makers might have tried to make a "Goodfellas" style mob movie, but they didn't make the context for their use clear enough. Just a guess, though.

[@WolfestoneManor]

"Travola passion project".... how did that work out the first time with Battlefield: Earth?

[@luffyduffy7817]

I can't wait for Travolta's starring role in the new film by legendary filmmaker Fred Durst

[@Terrafraid]

Well, when you consider John Travoltas last passion project, Battlefield Earth.....

[@tomahzo]

As the review progressed the sun gradually set behind them - how cozy :). Oh, and here I was hoping for another Battlefield Earth. Oh well, as long as Travolta puts out movies there's hope :).

[@DeadManSinging1]

A 0% on Rotten Tomatoes just means that nobody liked it. It doesn't mean that every single one said it was the worst ever

[@StonedGremlinProductions]

Yes, I know that, which is why I quoted specific blurbs. I know what RT is.

[@DeadManSinging1]

You've seen so many bad movies though which might explain why you thought it was mostly mediocre by comparison. Stuff like Violent Shit doesn't really show at festivals or during oscar season

[@ShinSeikiEvan]

Brad, you should try to get on the board of judges for The Razzies. You know what true bad movies are.

[@ShinSeikiEvan]

Go watch the 1996 version with Armand Assante as Gotti instead.

[@15mmGustavus]

I wonder what this would have been like if it had been a miniseries of about say 13 episodes.. get a solid show runner like Ryan Murphy or someone else and get solid tv directors.. who knows?

[@CatLives9]

I liked Travolta in that OJ Simpson miniseries

[@15mmGustavus]

exactly. he should have gone down that road

[@sylviaphillips5803]

Brad 💗 Laura & kitties😺💗😺💗

[@D0ug1997]

Also, they say audiences enjoyed this movie, but it didn't even open in the top ten.

[@heidifedor]

Isn’t this that movie that former Howard Stern employee, Stuttering John Mendez, was a producer?

[@nathanmiller8213]

Generally, not always (since someone will name the exception s), but generally when a movie is in development for a long time the project will be either the work of a committee or the result of the screenwriters continually changing things to get it made. And a good product will almost never result from either approach (again, with exceptions).

[@KotorFan-zb1bo]

You know what's funny.Gotti actually is in Springfield right now

[@MrBoondock1]

but was it worth it

[@michaelmartinez7414]

I love John Travolta ,but the older he gets, the creepier he looks.

[@captcrais101]

Michael Martinez lol

[@AGenerousLove]

These nuts, ha! Gotti

[@concertmania]

CORKY ROMANO has a better narrative flow than this movie! CORKY is also forward thinking; the Don accepts his gay son at the end.

[@StonedGremlinProductions]

I could say the same thing about Boat Trip. Still not a better movie :P

[@concertmania]

Stoned Gremlin Productions alright. But Snow Dogs BEATS THEM ALL.

[@dunes8817]

Awaiting Todd's reaction or a future Snob review.

[@canderia]

No more passion projects for this guy. Hes cut off.

[@guitarhero8110]

I spent around 10 years in terre haute indiana. Its weird hearing you say a bunch of towns ive been to...love the channel keep it up

[@lindykerry8209]

But the makeup was good according to Wikipedia

[@1Maenad]

Screen Junkies/Dan Murril does a segment called Charting with Dan. It goes over the box office numbers for the weekend. He noticed some funny-business related to the RT audience score for Gotti. Looks lìke the score is being manipulated by people who registered in June, have only given 1 review (Gotti) and giving it glowing reviews. He also noted that Moviepass partnered with the studio to release this movie and then 40% of the box office for Gotti was Moviepass. I find this crazy scenario intriguing.

[@SongbirdAlom]

"My Cancer hurts."

[@phudman]

Make America Gotti Again

[@captcrais101]

Philip Hudman lol

[@dunes8817]

Curiosity is why I saw the 2010 Nutcracker movie.

[@Monkofmagnesia]

I wonder what the Mafia thinks of it. Oh, yeah! What Mafia?

[@thedrewdog]

So would you say Moment by Moment is better?

[@two-facedcoop9112]

Security:"Welcome to Salty Spatoon, how tough are ya?" Me: "I watched 1989's Society..." Security: "So?" Me: "Without pukin' in the toilet." Security: *shivers* "R-right this way, sir."

[@russianboss0378]

this is gonna be the next movie all the youtube film critics review en masse

[@Clay3613]

Doubt it.

[@blaisetelfer8499]

Yeah, Ralphthemoviemaker said he's going to "talk more about this later" during his best/worst of the year list, which makes me think there's a long form video of it coming up.

[@RickRaptor105]

Brad, that German pronunciation of 99 Luftballons was spot on!

[@erdelf]

Uhm.. the 99 was ok, but the Ballons was way off... Always wondering how that happens since the only pronounciation non-germans should've heard is the right one in the song.

[@archer1949]

Hey! Leo Rossi! That’s a blast from the past! Loved the Relentless movies.

[@blackoutcity123]

Would y'all ever come to Rockford for any reason? It's my hometown and I've always been excited by the fact that the whole Stoned Gremlins team is in Springfield

[@dunes8817]

Sounds like it has the same problem as the James Brown biopic.

[@danielthenorwegianguy]

Dunes8 the only good thing about that movie was the music and the acting performances, especially Chadwick Boseman

[@ericlucas1]

I thought get on up was pretty good

[@ActionJackson1982]

I just watched it and it's not that bad, it's not terrible like everyone is saying. it's decent enough

[@Sinastyr]

I guess this WOULD play in Peoria

[@Deactorr]

Which one is worse? "Life of the Party" or "Showdogs"?

[@doowopsoprano9867]

I agree. I watched this movie not thinking this was horrible & I hate it but thinking damn, this movie ain't good but had so much potential to be something great.

[@yvonnerogers6429]

I just realized that the two of you had to drive to Peoria just like Dr. Bob Hartley and Jerry had to drive to Peoria to watch that Bears game on TV because it got blacked out in Chicago. I'm guessing y'all might appreciate that reference. Thanks for the video.

[@mutalemwananshiku4098]

I know brad probably heards this so many times but your wife is gorgeous.

[@cleopatra2462]

Mutale Mwananshiku Brad is better; he’s adorable and funny as well.

[@MrTBoneSF]

You started off saying it's not that bad but the more you described it, the worse it sounds. The main character narrates their life in a non-linear fashion can work. You should watch Reversal of Fortune as a palate cleanser and a GOOD example of how to do one of these movies.

[@luffyduffy7817]

Btw ask Laura where she got her earrings because those are HELLA CUTE

[@anjelikaraqs]

Thanks for showing our shitty town some love!

[@captcrais101]

I saw on the net there is another Gotti film made in 96 I think. That might be a better film.

[@themagnificentmrmcgee]

It's funny I only heard of this movie because an article mentioned it having a "rare" 0%

[@harrisonmckinney7659]

I actually really liked the show, Entourage, and I really wish things had gone better than this for E. With Travolta and Preston, did this have anything to do with Scientology?

[@user-cv7uk5xu5g]

Leo Rossi, one of 'Gotti' co-screenwriters, penned Crackerjack 3. I'm waiting for that review.

[@davidjames579]

Is that the house from Up behind Brad's window? Is Carl going to come out and tell you to be quiet?

[@kdcndw1]

HBO films Gotti TV movie from the late 90s was very good. Hard to follow up.

[@Jonathanest90s]

When I first heard about the movie. I thought this movie was about the pornstar name Leah Gotti. Kids, don’t look it up!

[@ryancoulter4797]

Not Ogdenville, Shelbyville or North Haverbrook?

[@jokerz7936]

Most Gotti movies are garbage nice to see the tradition is maintained.

[@matthewellis6516]

Lorde xenu himself couldn't save this crap

[@angelewing9923]

U never knew you're from the 217. That's epic!

[@cleopatra2462]

Johan Öberg Brad is adorable. I have a weird attraction towards him and I can’t explain why. 😑

I feel like I would enjoy re-watching Black Mass way more than this film. At least I could tell what was going on in that film (sort of)

[@woodymetcalf9195]

Wood Rocket just made a jurassic park porn parody. if u survive watching it, you should review it. i saw the trailer, it looks bad! 😬😬😬

[@kristinflowers9099]

Poor John. Always the bridesmaid, never the bride.

[@andresesqueda1424]

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!

[@captcrais101]

I can see why people do not like it. Much of the movie focuses on John Gotti Jr. Sometimes it feels like Jr is more of the focus than Sr even though Sr narrates The movie is long. If you are not interested in what is going on it can be boring. I liked it. I found it cool John Travolta and Kelly Preston are in it as man and wife since they are married in real life.

[@dunes8817]

Problem though is you can have a movie that's long without feeling long. It's all about the presentation. The film's weird time jumps don't help either.

[@liffeyninja2464]

I am both myself and a troll with a keyboard so I don’t know what to think.

[@mikeynike81]

sounds like All Eyes On Me

[@captcrais101]

mikeynike81 well I had problems with thus film but it wasn't that bad. All Eyes on me made me angry because I know Tupac deserves better.

[@ericlucas1]

John Smith they should've stuck with Tupac resurrection

[@redraideninthehood763]

...but did he go down in the DM?

[@jasonvorsleaze5425]

I actually liked the movie. 🤷🏽‍♂️ Didn’t view it as a “mob movie”,it’s more based on the relationship with Junior & his father.

[@mrmonty86]

I want to see a Snob episode on the movie Gotti.

[@devinharbert2245]

I feel like John Travoltas career Is Completely Dead by this point in Shitty Low Quality films for 6 years like Life On The Line, I Am Wrath, Speed Kills, and Gotti were all Failures and Poorly Received and in 2019 he made The Fanatic and Poison Rose were were Poorly Received and Bombed Badly

[@azzystillborne9125]

Wow they made a movie based on sixnines song?

[@JustinCoasters]

Is it just me or does Laura get hotter with each review?

[@JimWellsIsGreat]

"If it plays in Peoria..."

[@chibikim77]

It was so bad that the makes of the film did a "Saving Christmas." The reviews on Rotten Tomatoes were artificially manipulated to be used in their marketing strategy. Like it did them any favors XD imgur.com/a/5K3PtVQ
