“He tried to get into the Brat Pack, but he wanted to change it to The Smile Bunch.”

So says Molly Ringwald about Ralph Macchio. His “niceness” was what held him back, apparently.

Not anymore. No more Mr. Nice Guy.

A gripping new documentary about his struggle back to superstardom: Wax On, F*** Off.


(Note from me: I have written before about how one episode of Eight is Enough changed my life. Nothing has made me happier than the fact that someone put this video together. I am literally smiling from ear to ear right now.)

    SOOOO FUNNY. Good move by Mr. Macchio. My favorite part is where the newscaster says, “A teenager gets in to a brawl at a Hollywood nightclub.” HA! And when the prostitute tells him to come back when he turns 18 and he yells, “I’m 48!” Hahahahaha!

    I can’t express how warm and happy this makes me feel. It’s funny, it’s smart – and yes – the bit about the “teenager” in the brawl is hilarious. Dude is almost 50. He can’t get a break. I like him guzzling vodka and then wanting to have sex with “no cuddling” for his “sex tape comeback.” His wife is like, “But cuddling is your favorite part.”

    ARGH, what’s a nice guy to do??

    How awesome is it that Molly Ringwald was interviewed??

    I’m so happy right now.

    Bill Gates mugshot on his computer with the manager’s voiceover doing the “bad boys” rundown.

    This gets better with every viewing.

    “An unidentified teenager caught on tape during a hollywood club brawl.”

    Dying.

    As I said on twitter my favorite touch was him yelling “shoot!” before running away from the club brawl.

  12. red says:

    Right, he’s so nice he can’t even swear!!

    LOVED this! The new next-door neighbor at the intervention made me guffaw for some reason.

    “You realize this is fifty dollars, right?”

    BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA

    Or how he’s trying to somehow emulate the flexibility of Jaden Smith’s new Karate Kid poster! (Kind of hit home for me, the 37 year old goalie.)

    Genius. I wish I had caught this at the Hoboken Film Festival.

    “Are you sure you’ve never slept with anyone else?”

  16. red says:

    Nightfly – yeah, I love all the fake jury prizes from fake film festivals.

  17. Ceci says:

    Since I am not a film festival expert, I am only know learning that those prizes are from FAKE film festivals!!! This is getting better and better, HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!

  18. Ceci says:

    I meant: I am only NOW learning…
    It’s just all the laughter caused by this trailer, I don’t know what I am writing anymore!
