Preview trailers for movies
not coming to a theater near you are collected in this satiric comedy. Loose Shoes is a sketch comedy which takes the form of a series of "coming attractions" for movies that don't happen to exist. The oddball trailers include the
Billy Jack parody
Billy Jerk Goes to Oz, the family comedy
The Shaggy Studio Executive, a ribald
Ma and Pa Kettle take-off, a biker film satire called
Skateboarders From Hell, a vintage musical short entitled
Darktown After Dark, a politically incorrect
Charlie Chaplin two-reeler, a Play It Again, Sam goof in which "Duddy Allen" seeks romantic advice from a guy he thinks is the ghost of
Clark Gable, and much more. Loose Shoes includes pre-fame performances from
Bill Murray,
Howard Hesseman,
Ed Lauter, and
Harry Shearer, while cult favorites
Susan Tyrrell,
Sid Haig, Jaye P. Morgan, Kinky Friedman, and Van Dyke Parks also appear in the cast. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide
