Synopsis

Having blown his roommates rent money on get-rich-quick schemes, Edison (Carrot Top) is forced to find a job before they're evicted by their fed up landlady. A failure at everything, Edison heads to the beach where he meets fellow inventor and corporate big wig Armand McMillan (Jack Warden). When Armand dies and leaves his invention company to Edison, is would seem he's landed his dream job. There's only one problem: Armand's nephew Bradford (Larry Miller), who vows to get even after he inherits nothing but his uncles' surfboard. Edison soon discovers that running a corporation is no easy task, but with the help of Raquel Welch and Courtney Thorne-Smith, he just might ride that wave all the way to the top.

Review

Edison (Carrot Top) is a surfing would-be inventor who makes goofy Rube Goldberg-style gadgets. Here's a taste: a drinking glass with a forehead heater to prevent brain freeze. They're all pretty much like that. The chairman of a large corporation (Jack Warden), who had shown interest in Edison's "ideas," dies and leaves Edison in charge of his company. Another would-be benefactor (Larry Miller), beaten out of his inheritance by Edison, makes it his evil mission to wrest control of the company from the ne'er-do-well with the shock of silly hair. A thin formula on which to hang some amazingly unfunny gags, all done in a broad cartoon-style, but with no flair. Puts the stupid in Stupid Comedy, then takes out all the comedy. Well, okay, not all. The videotaped will takes the form of a game show, presenting things to be inherited as prizes in the manner of Wheel of Fortune, complete with its own Vanna White. The rest is one lame attempt at a joke after another, with some time taken for Carrot Top to do pale imitations of Jim Carrey, possibly unintentionally. Highlights include Cindy Margolis. --Jim Gay
