Extremely Funny!!!

I received this as a Christmas present. I thought this movie was incredibly hilarious. It reminded me a lot of a story I read in high school called 'The Most Dangerous Game'John Leguizamo is wacky and crazy through the entire film. Leguizamo plays a sneaky, but lovable con-artist named Pestario Vargas, but everyone calls him 'Pest' He is tricked into being hunted down on a private Island by a racist German named Gustav. If Pest survives for 24 hours, Gustav will give him $50,000. When Pest escapes the Island, Gustav and his homosexual son continue to hunt him down in the city. Pest uses many disguises in order to stay alive, If you love silly zany comedies, you'll love THE PEST!!!

This Film is a Pest.

The Pest (1997): Dir: Paul Miller / Cast: John Leguizamo, Jeffrey Jones, Joe Morton, Aries Spears, Freddy Rodriguez: Pointless and stupid comedy with a character named Pest who seems like a relative of Ace Ventura. Idiot plot has him picked for a manhunt to which if he survives he receives $50, 000, which is exactly what he owes the Scottish mob. Production is cheap with vulgar humour including a scene where Pest pukes in full view of the camera before his friend pukes in his face. Is this suppose to be funny? How about the scene where this idiot takes a dump while a deer observes from a distance. Stupidity hits its strongest once he is hunted back to the city where his girlfriend and family are kidnapped. Director Paul Miller displays little talent especially when opening the film like a music video with Pest making vulgar noises in the shower. John Leguizamo plays Pest as an idiot who mugs every scene shamelessly. His performance is so bad that it makes Jim Carrey's work in Ace Ventura: Pet Detective look award worthy. Jeffrey Jones is every bit as bad as the man hunting Pest. Is this guy for real? Jones is at the mercy of material that presents him as the dumbest villain in film history. Thankfully Ferris Bueller's Day Off demonstrates what a terrific comedic villain he can portray. Video outlets will need an exterminator to vanquish this garbage so that it doesn't pollute the screens of innocent people. Score: 0 / 10

My two favourite body parts.....

Miami scam artist Pest Vargas is on the run from the Scottish mob and a German headhunter.

The mob are after the 50,000 dollars he owes, and the German after his head.

The first ten minutes of this movie are the most xenophobic, politically incorrect things I've seen in nineties cinema, and it goes downhill from there.

I have no idea what Leguizamo was thinking when he made this movie, and it's an even more sobering thought that he helped to create the movie also.

It must have something to do with the direction, but it's Leguizamos pet, and it should have been put down during the initial pitch.

Imagine Hard Target played for laughs, but without any funny scenes, or action, and you have this movie.

All the cast are pretty bas, and i'm sure there is something in this movie that will offend everyone.

when a film has a character called Malaria, you know something is wrong.
