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.

My husband and I have loved this hilarious movie since it came out years ago! The people who gave a bad rating seemed so negative and up tight. There are so many funny scenes that are just priceless. Dabney Coleman is great. This has to be one of his classic roles. He has so many funny lines, what a character! His line "I'm a damn good looking man" is an all time favorite! Chevy is just great being Chevy. He always makes me laugh and has such a great dry sense of humor. Nell Carter as Dorita is just a charm with her voodoo. What a character! All the actors are so perfect and funny. I recommend this to everyone who likes a funny, quirky and great movie from our past! Enjoy it like we have all these years!

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.
