Leonard Part 6 - 1/2 star

“Leonard Part 6” is a disastrous comedy film starring Billy Cosby from tv’s “The Cosby Show”. This spy parody is one of the laziest movies I have ever seen and every single scene feels like it was written only minutes before the cameras started rolling.

Leonard Parker (Cosby) a former-secret agent that is called out of retirement when the evil Medusa Johnson (Gloria Foster “The Matrix Reloaded”) plans to use a special device to make all the animals in San Francisco attacks humans. The terrible plot is sadly just one of the many problems plaguing the horrendous “Leonard Part 6”.

I’m not really very familiar with Bill Cosby as I have never seen “The Cosby Show” nor any of his stand-up routines. If “Leonard Part 6” is a reasonable reflection of Cosby’s comedic talents then I have no real interest in being subjected to any of his other work. If this is a spy parody why doesn’t Leonard do any spy stuff? All we see him do is ridiculous stuff such as ballet dancing and threatening a lobster with melted butter. The other characters are equally awful and nobody did or said anything that made me come remotely close to laughing.

“Leonard Part 6” got a thrashing from critics upon release for its weak gags and its Coca Cola product placement (the whole movie was a big tie-in with Coca Cola). The film was also a box-office bomb and even Cosby himself was so ashamed of it that he openly criticised and purchased the tv rights so that it could never be aired on television. Every joke in this film just stinks of desperation and it feels like the makers will just throw anything at you in the hopes of getting a chuckle. I doubt many people are going to want to hunt down this movie, particularly in light of the more recent revelations about Cosby’s crimes offscreen.
