I loved THE NAKED GUN films but waited till REPOSSESSED turned up on television before seeing it . A lot of people were conned in the 1990s by companies tricking people into thinking they`d be watching something similar to THE NAKED GUN by casting Leslie Nielson and releasing the video cover as something similar in style to THE NAKED GUN releases . DRACULA DEAD AND LOVING IT and REPOSSESSED both did this but don`t be fooled because very few if any of the production team who worked on the classic comedy trilogy worked on this movie or the awful DEAD AND LOVING IT REPOSSESSED is a very hit and miss film with little in the way of memorable gags . The jokes that do work best are the groan inducing ones similar to what you`d find in THE NAKED GUN , jokes like " Young lady pull your dress down " and " Are you getting off ? " . Mind you I will give this film credit for being funnier than SCARY MOVIE 2 but neither movie is as funny as THE EXORCIST

I always have love parodies. "Airplane!", "The Naked Gun" (And its sequels), "Pandemonium" and "Scary Movie" are my favorites. Make good parodies is very difficult. Bob Logan's "Repossessed" is a great example of a good parody. Much people don't give it a chance, but i really think that this is a great comedy, of course with some flaws but and outstanding Linda Blair, and a funny Leslie Nielsen, "Repossessed" becomes to be one of my favorite comedies and parodies. "Repossessed" is the funny satire to the original and terrible but excellent "The Exorcist" (1973), which have too Linda Blair in the same character. But, is necessary that you understand what i try to say first with the plot of the original parodied film. William Peter Blatty's "The Exorcist" is about a little girl who is possessed by the devil, and how a poor mother and the faith of a young priest its debated in his own believes. The film was one of the most shocking dramatic horror and at the same time spiritual since then. But much of the cast and crew suffer a lot, and Linda Blair, with only 12 years, was one of the most affected. Linda Blair was the famous possessed girl. As i seen in an "A& E" biography, Linda don't have a calm adolescence. Since then was like a curse for her. "Repossessed" was like a real salvation, a real exorcism for that course, for that demon who pursuit her since the original film. She want laugh of that suffer, she want laugh of the devil, so she do "Repossessed". Bob Logan's "Repossessed" is perfect. Makes laugh with ironical situations, besides of awesome performances (I love the performance of Anthony Starke). I think that "Repossesed" is not so simple as much of us think. Of course is silly, but far of that has a lot messages: The media and how have control of the audience (Like "Network" for example), how maybe the believes and religion are not so different, and how we can laugh of the devil and the suffering in this way. "Repossessed" is silly, of course. But this foolishness had a great meaning. *Sorry for the mistakes... well, if there any.

Low-budget, low-balled, overwhelmingly juvenile, though surprisingly tolerable "Airplane!"-like spoof of "The Exorcist", which was overdue in 1990 and--in light of the televangelist jokes--seems even more passé today. "Exorcist" star Linda Blair returns as a housewife named Nancy (in the previous film she was Regan, haha) whose body is taken over by a raucous, prankish Prince of Darkness; Leslie Nielsen is the befuddled priest. Writer-director Bob Logan seems to have earned the trust of his players, who go out on a limb trying to make this thing fly, but too many of the gags bomb out and the film's continuity is sloppy. It is nice however to see the normally put-upon Blair having a good time, dancing to "Devil With the Blue Dress On", and hamming it up in high spirits. ** from ****

OK, so we all know that Leslie Nielsen stars in the silliest parodies. It seemed inevitable that he would eventually star in an "Exorcist" spoof. What makes "Repossessed" especially eye-opening is that it's got Linda Blair spoofing her own famous role. So, as they just want to be as goofy as possible, much of the humor revolves around projectile vomiting (you'd better have a strong stomach for this one). Aside from that, they poke fun at what were then current events, namely with Ned Beatty as a Jim Bakker-resembling clergyman; there's also Oliver North having a memory problem, Sean Penn having a short temper, and a little something about Morton Downey. Oh, and of course they admit that they're in a movie at one point. Yes, it's basically low humor, but they're not afraid to do whatever they want. You gotta love this one. And the next time that someone asks "May I?", you know what to say.

Some reasons why this is one of the worst films ever made: 1. Leslie Nielson is a great comic actor when deadpanning in absurd situations. For some reason, the makers of this monstrosity thought that he would be even funnier if he mugged and did double takes every 30 seconds. WRONG! Maybe a "funny" foreign accent would help? WRONG AGAIN! 2. The film was marketed as if it were in some way linked to the Police Squad/Naked Gun series; the poster even showed Nielson in a "Drebin" pose, wielding a crucifix and rosary beads. 3. The script was obviously the last thing anyone thought about: big joke number one; woman works out on apparatus; her breasts expand; her breasts explode! big joke number two: Linda Blair cooks dinner for her family and guess what? It's pea soup! 4.The production values are rock bottom; everything looks cheap or re-used. This is a really horrible piece of trash, one of the very few movies I felt ashamed of returning to my local rental store; AVOID!!

i just bought this movie on dvd, and it was hilarious! its funny to see how linda blair came from serious in the Exorcist, and making fun of herself in Repossessed! leslie nielson is funny as usual as Father Maii. a part that made me crack up was "Where do you think you're going?" "I'm going to Disneyland!" i definatley recommend it for spoof lovers!
