Senseless
by Penelope Spheeris
from Dimension
Marlon Wayans plays a struggling college student working several jobs to make ends meet and support his mother and family at the same time he's trying to win an entry-level job at a prestigious Wall Street firm. To make a little extra money, he agrees to be a medical test subject and takes a drug that amplifies all of his senses. The comedy supposedly emanates from his drastic reactions to outrageous stimuli and, to be sure, Wayans is a rubber-faced comic. But the writing is never on a par with his flexibility; even the presence of David Spade as Wayans's nemesis--a smug frat boy who looks down his pointy little nose at Wayans--the movie is never more than sporadically funny. --Marshall Fine
Get ready for the outrageous, laugh-out-loud comedy about two college students who'll try anything to get ahead! Perpetually poor Darryl (Marlon Wayans -- THE SIXTH MAN) is destined to lose his dream Wall Street job to a wealthy snob (David Spade -- TOMMY BOY, TV's JUST SHOOT ME) ... until Darryl volunteers for a high-paying scientific experiment that gives him superhuman senses -- and the competitive edge he needs! But when the side effects start, he finds his chances for success sabotaged by attacks of sensory overload! Another hip laugh riot from the director of WAYNE'S WORLD, SENSELESS is wild entertainment fun that rocks to a jammin' soundtrack by today's hotest recording artists!
