The Incredible Shrinking Woman

Starring: Lily Tomlin, Charles Grodin, Ned Beatty, Maria Smith, John Glover

Those who know The Deuce know The Deuce loves Moms and, if you know The Deuce, you know The Deuce loves celebrating Moms in an incredible and big way! Even if the Mom in question The Deuce is celebrating is THE INCREDIBLE SHRINKING WOMAN! She’s still a Mom! And – as you can plainly see from the title: she’s incredible! The thing is: this little lady has a BIG problem! But a problem The Deuce feels worthy of celebration!!

The life of a wife and mom in super-suburban satisfaction is fractured when she finds herself getting all shrinky-dink’d due to what is proposed as an innate inability to tolerate the constant bombardment of consumer products other suburban housewives take in stride… The culprits?? Just the everyday hairsprays, floor waxes, “feminine products,” aerosol deodorants… the usual… and maybe that space-age future-glue her adman!??!

Schumacher’s first-stab at the camp-kitsch costuming he’d bring big to his Batmans imagines a suburban world posited in past and present… or neither nor… or.. something more… and very… pastel-palette’d! And albeit re-molding much of the source-material’s horror into mostly easy-going, goofy, good-natured comedy (including a great gorilla bit!), this wacky woman-ized version still manages, among the laughs, to plumb some pathos in its bathos and strike chords of commonality that very likely had the mothers in the New Amsterdam seats saying to the men in the audience: “Don’t YOU feel small now!” And who among us doesn’t know what it’s like to feel small??

Happy Mother’s Day! To the motherly shrinking woman in all of you!!

Join The Deuce this month as we proudly present the esteemed landmark documentary: The Sorrow And The Pity…  Ahhh, take off, ya hosers… it’s April Fool’s, eh! Like we’re really gonna show a 4-hour French documentary about Nazis?? No way, eh – Nazis are KNOBS!!  No – but really – we’re really excited to be showing The Sorrow And The Pity... except – it’s NOT a pity, we’re NOT!!

Or aka, eh: THE ADVENTURES OF BOB & DOUG MCKENZIE: STRANGE BREW… Beauty, eh… like it’s got the names of who’s in it, right in the title… and brew.. the best part, eh?

Beer-loving brothers embark on a lark to bamboozle a life-load of said beloved beer and bumble into a bevy of bedevilment rife with ridiculousness… A brainwashing Brewmeister and the Galactic Border Patrol! A Fido that flies! Back-bacon and beer! Chicanery in the brewery! Or let’s just tell it like it is: it’s Hamlet meets the Hoseheads!! Oh! Canada

Brewed (beauty, eh?) from a snarky SCTV skit writ’ to satisfy a “Canadian Content Quota”… Re-writ and wrought by the triple-dipping duo – directors! writers (with some early-draft help from Cherry 2000‘s Steve De Jarnatt)!! stars!!!… Thomas and Moranis (how do you pronounce that?) – for the big screen and small IQs – (purportedly) for the sole purpose of pleasing 12-year-olds! And boy did those lucky-duckies at 42nd Street’s Harris leave the theatre feeling 12 years old again… Success!!

Beauty, eh?? So don’t be bummed we’re not showing The Sorrow And The Pity hosers – stop being a knob – kick back with The Deuce and slug down some bonafide STRANGE BREW that somehow manages to sneak in enough strange (and smart and sweet) to make your hoser head spin!!
