I've never seen Dondi, but I looked it up and read a user review that cracked me up:

Quote
It was 1977. My brother was lying on the couch with the worst toothache of his life. All he could do was lie there hurting. Then my sister turned on the t.v. and Dondi was on. For half an hour, my brother lay there growing angrier and angrier at the sound of Dondi's voice, which has been known to cause heads to explode. Finally, my brother got so sick of the treacly parade of sap that is Dondi that he said one word in disgust: "Dumbi". The pain of the movie was worse than the pain of his tooth. My brother thought he suffered enough, but after Dondi came the movie Dunderklumpen. Let's just say he forgot all about his toothache.

I feel like I either know all about it from this review and have no need to see it, or I have a burning desire to see just how bad it is. My psyche is utterly confused.

Ozzymandias speaks: I'm intersted in seeing it just because of my interest in comic strips and comic books. I remember reading the comic strip.

Which brings me to an old joke? It has been used by Mad Magazine, Laugh-In and even an episode of Roseanne.

Did you know Dondi and Little Orphan Annie had a baby together? The good thing is the baby has normal looking eyes.

Ozzymandias has spoken!!!

I saw it on TV. I don't remember much about it, which is probably fortunate for me, but I do know I certainly liked it better than the comic strip upon which it was based. At least I found the film watchable. The comic strip--unreadable--and one of the few comic strips I did find unreadable.

The kid and Janssen were magical together. Seriously, I laughed pretty hard at this. I think my favorite scene was Janssen getting mauled by his girlfiends when they got back home from the war.

bumping this in honor of my "non horror sci fi" bad movies thread.

It's on amazon Prime and I wouldn't recommend it  https://www.amazon.com/Dondi-David-Janssen/dp/B000SW4DTY

Wow, there's a Raffine quote in this thread.

I just read about this movie in the original "Golden Turkey Awards," where Dondi won the award for "most annoying child actor."

I have zero interest in seeing it.  Thumbdown

It sounds like a cute concept for a comic strip & movie, but I can see how it could easily become cloying.
