For those people inclined to do hard drugs they're bound to do something dumb or dangerous when they're high. For most people, if they have a bad acid trip, then whatever they do is usually only witnessed by a select few. When you have money and influence, and you have a bad acid trip and make a movie, thousands of people get to see it. You see, the difference between the two is money and influence. That's what Modern Problems is--a bad acid trip. It was directionless and uninspired. The characters were wholly random as was the plot. There was truly no point, which would've been fine if it were a spoof, but it wasn't. Chevy Chase et al sputtered around on screen until the director said, "Cut and that's a wrap." How this waste of celluloid was ever released in theaters I'll never know.

MODERN PROBLEMS is one of those films that is ALWAYS on cable -- and yet no one would ever want to watch in its entirety. Blame Comedy Central. Probably Chevy Chase at his lowest. Although his career has had so many low points, it's hard to say. He must be a masochist who deliberately chooses godawful movies to destroy his career. Or he's a sadist who enjoys inflicting these turkeys on the rest of us. Don't listen to anyone who claims, "Actually, it's not that bad;" they didn't actually sit through it.

Chevy Chase stars as an air traffic controller who has an accident involving some radioactive materials which gives him telekinesis..he discovers this power and then uses it in sometimes hilarious manners..the restaurant and the bedroom scenes are almost reason enough to watch it.. on a scale of one to ten..7

Putting this film under the 'Comedy' genre is being extremely generous. One of a handful of videos I've hit the rewind and eject buttons on before it even got to half-way. Avoid like the plague.

I never really got into this movie, it's more strange than it is funny. And Chevy wasn't his usual self either, he was way to morose and distant to really side with his character or empathise with him in any way. Chevy plays Max Fielder, an air-traffic controller who's life is constantly in the toilet and bad luck follows him everywhere. He's very paranoid and possessive over his girlfriend, so much so that she dumps him for some total dork. On his way home from a disastrous night out his car is sprayed with radioactive gunk from a leaky government truck. He is soon blessed/cursed with telekinetic abilities, which he uses to get revenge on those who make his life miserable. It could have been really fun but it's just...weird. Ken Shapiro (who?) does not have the same edge in his direction as Harold Ramis, Michael Ritchie or John Landis and he doesn't know how to fully use Chevy's brand of humor. There are some laughs to be had though, but their not so memorable. The DVD is in 1.85:1 anamorphic widescreen but it's mostly all shot in soft focus so there's nothing outstanding here. The sound is plain old Mono and it's alright if nothing else, though the dialogue has very heavy use of ADR. A trailer and TV spot are included. Oh...and that theme song playing over the menu, opening and closing credits? Yuck!

Jealous, harried air traffic controller Max Fiedler (Chevy Chase), recently dumped by his girlfriend, comes into contact with nuclear waste and is granted the power of telekinesis, which he uses not only to win her back, but to gain a little revenge. The bloody nose scene goes from mildly amusing to rather revolting, and that made it something I could have done without. But that was the only really bad part of the film. Fans of Chase may not have seen this one, as it is not well known. Younger fans (those who now know him best from "Community") will definitely not have heard of it. Check it out. Please.

No man is invincible. Just look at Chevy Chase. And I don't mean the drug abuse, health problems or turbulent personal life he's had, either. I mean movie choices. Here's a man who made good impressions in films like "Foul Play" and "Caddyshack" and "Seems like Old Times", floundering badly in tripe like "Modern Problems". As a fired air traffic controller who suddenly acquires great mental powers thanks to a nuclear accident (don't even ask), Chevy mugs, flails and clomps around like an idiot, winning back the love of his life (D'Arbanville), humiliating his nemesis (Coleman) and thoroughly confusing a maid (Carter). The special effects are okay, but that's like taking a car that's already been through the crusher to the paint shop. One star, with thanks to my vision for ESP (Extra-Stupid Pictures).

I liked this mild Chevy Chase comedy. It is not the best in the world, but I found it pretty funny with some scenes really taking the cake. The movie has a guy having a really bad day, but then he gets a little toxic waste thrown on him and he develops powers of telekinesis...and of course he does what any of us would do, he uses them for revenge. The ballet scene and restaurant scenes are the best, I do not really care for him going a bit crazy at the end, but all in all it is a funny movie. Though it does seem kind of generic in a way, almost like something that was a television rather than one shown at theaters. Chevy is good as is most of the cast and the special effects are what you would expect for a movie from this time, quite bad.
