1990 - THE FRESHMAN, Marlon Brando hams it up.

Marlon Brando parodies his Don Corleone role from The Godfather.  He's pulling the strings of a NYU film student well played by Matthew Broderick.  Brando gets Broderick involved in delivering a Komodo Dragon to an exclusive dinner group looking to eat exotic animals. 


 Matthew Broderick a very talented actor and comedian is the main focus of the film and he more than holds his own when it comes to acting with the scene stealing Brando.

The writer/director of this stuff is Andrew Bergman a talented guy who is a student of classic Hollywood comedy.  Bergman is good at creating ridiculous situations and then sticking his actors in them as they attempt to unravel themselves from an ever growing and complicated plot.

 

The film runs 103 minutes in it and has some very funny stuff which includes some nutty sight gags with the Komodo Dragon.
