Shakes the Clown Reviews
It's a very dialogue centric movie, characteristic of other great comedies from the'90s indie circuit.
| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Jun 28, 2020
Bobcat Goldthwait's first (and worst) cinematic outing...
| Original Score: 1/4 | Nov 18, 2016
Clearly achieves what Goldthwait wanted it to, and the unapologetic bluntness of it is itself worthy of praise, however awkward and squeamish.
| Original Score: 7/10 | Jun 5, 2016
A bizarre comedy that stretches its central gimmick thinner than watered-down carnival taffy.
| Original Score: 1/4 | May 22, 2008
Basically a redneck drive-in movie in style and delivery.

Extra credit for beating up mimes!

Great idea for a tasteless short, but not enough for a feature.

The tagline is true - and so are the rumors.

When it works, it's uniquely funny. When it doesn't, it's uniquely bad.

Sporadically, but hilariously, funny. Goldthwait is great as the alcoholic, mime-hatin' clown.

A must-see for clown haters.

Shake this one back into the film can and let it rot there.

Shakes the Clown is sick but whether it's a joke is a matter of taste. And this film is about as tasteless as they come.

A wonderfully weird two hours.
