322: "He's A Big Fat Ugly Guy" - Bogus (1996)

This week on Saturday Night Jive we're doing another cheat pick.  There are no SNL alums in the 1996 film Bogus but we watched it anyway.  It does feature Andrea Martin who is related to SNL alum Martin Short and was offered a spot on Season 10 (according to rumors) so that counts, right?  This movie stars a pre-Sixth Sense Haley Joel Osment who creates an imaginary friend after his mother dies.  The imaginary friend is played by big fat Gerard DePardieu who is not funny, charming, or imaginative.  Whoopi Goldberg plays Haley's legal guardian who seems to detest children and wants nothing to do with the kid until she does a soft shoe routine with Bogus that turns her heart around (we guess).  It's a heartwarming family drama about a little orphan that they threw a big fat French guy in to hang around in the background of scenes.  Seriously, the imaginary friend aspect of this movie is way less of the plot than you would think.  Is Gerard DePardieu sexy?  We get into it.  Enjoy!
