when rodney dangerfield be on a roll and he hilarious . in my 5 wife and he not on a roll . the timing of the one liners be off and but theyre the best thing go for the movie . the five woman who play the wife do not add up to one whole actress between them . the plot be very weak . even the premise be pretty weak while there be a few joke about have multiple wife and but the situation have little to do with anything else in the movie . most of the movie could play the same way even if rodney character have only one wife and so the premise seem more like an old man fantasy than a key part of the comedy . another old man fantasy represent be suppose to accept that rodney character be an athletic skier . jerry stiller seem to be phone in his role just to do a buddy a favor and and the rest of the name actor must simply be desperate for work . the odd nod to political correctness later in the movie do not really do anything for the movie . for those who like their movie politically correct and the non pc humor be still there in the first place and and the seeming apology for it still do not get the point . for those who hate see a movie cave in to political correctness and the pc add in be just annoy digression . this have to be the mild r rat movie i have ever see . there be some racy joke and and the bedroom scene would have make shock tv 40 year ago and but that about it . maybe it be the topless men ( kid ) . the dvd feature interview where the cast member seem to find depth and importance in this movie and in their role . i keep wonder if they be serious or kid . they seem to be serious and but i keep think and they must be kid . there also a peculiar disclaimer suggest that since the movie never actually name the mormon or the church of latter day saint and that somehow it not about them . never mind that the movie feature a polygamous religion in utah and and make reference to brigham young . in short and my 5 wife be a disappointment . i be hop for rodney on a roll and but the best i can say for the movie be that rodney be look pretty good for a guy who be push 80 at the time .
