Mixed Nuts (1994)
Andrew Hansen
Does anyone else remember this silly 1990's comedy? The movie follows a suicide-prevention hotline on Christmas Eve. The film flopped, but I always enjoyed it.

Madeline Kahn's presence alone elevates the film

This movie is so uneven. It’s like all these good elements were taken and put into a blender.

There's nothing MADELINE KAHN can't ruin.

Never seen this one but I remember hating the original version. The French just aren't funny. Period.

Liev gives a very respectful performance.

Loved this movie!!! Yes it’s fairly uneven but overall funny and charming. Liev was my favorite character by a long shot!

Except when it isn't. I do think its charms outweigh the unevenness though.

Liev in drag is a boner killer.

I remember Comedy Central pushing this endlessly when it was released. Wasn't it at Christmas time? Every commercial break had a trailer for it, perhaps trying to actually drive the potential audience nuts?

I gave up after twenty minutes. Another example of a dynamite cast in a shitty movie.
