Jack Dundee

Jack Dundee
Robin Williams may be one of those comedians that younger people can’t understand why he was popular, but let us assure you, in the 1980’s, he was considered one of the top comedians in the world. In regards of his 80’s cinematic career, he had some hits, some bombs, and a few perplexing choices. “The Best of Times” has become a forgotten film in the Williams filmography, and in a way, that isn’t so bad.


The film was average, but as much as we loved Williams in the 80’s (and despise him now), the idea of Mork from Ork as a high school athlete in any capacity is ludicrous, especially as a Wide Receiver who had the chance to win the game. There is no way that this guy would be let on any football gridiron, and the fact that he played the role of Jack Dundee as meek as possible cemented that fact. Sorry, Mrs. Doubtfire, as much as we love you, this is a role that just seems to be miscast.



The Bullet Points:
