Carla Gugino slapstick film

Carla Gugino was a slightly under the radar actress who had been in a lot of big films over the years, but not usually in starring roles. She had been in things from the nineties forward. She was a good actress and was very attractive, but somehow, she never broke through to the real big time. She was very cute as well. She was old enough to start playing the role of mother in television and film. She took the part of the mother in a wild children’s slapstick film ala Spykids or Home Alone. 

There were some wacky and messy scenes in the film. Most of them involving the parents and/or the villains. There was a running gag where there would be a trap or prank set up for someone, usually the bad guys, but it would accidentally go off on Carla and she would get covered in mess instead. It was quite humorous and built through the film.

It started with a simple bucket of slime over a bedroom door that was meant to fall all over whomever entered. Unfortunately for her, Carla’s character was the first one to enter. Everyone told her to stop, but it was too late, the bucket of blue green slime dumped all over her. Her mouth dropped in shock.

The next one was a prank where all of the bottles of drink, including a chocolate milk shake were shook up. Again, this was not intended for the mother character. They expected her to pick a different drink, but she grabbed the shake. When she opened it, it exploded all over her, covering her in milkshake. It dripped from her face and her hair.

The next one involved some gunge balloons that were set to fall on a person when they entered the house. Of course, she again was the unlucky one to receive these. They fell on her, popping and covering her in pink and green gunge.

This was followed by a kitchen prank where when the person entered, they would trigger a trip wire that would set of a chain reaction leading to ketchup, mustard and other condiment bottles being squeezed at the person, thus covering them in thick mess. Of course, she was the one that this happened to as well. By this point, she was starting to get very annoyed. She had been covered in mess over and over again.

The next one was one right from St Trinian’s. It was set up outside the house, when a person exited, they would trip which would trigger thick honey and a pillowcase of feathers to drop all over them, sticking to them all over. This played out just as you would expect. Carla was soaked in honey and covered in feathers. This time she screamed.

The final scene took place in a barn. He bad guys were captured and everyone was happy. Carla’s character said,” I’m glad that is over with and there will be no more pranks or traps. You didn’t forget any did you?” Everyone looked around, thinking. “Oh no,” they said. With that, a giant bag of manure emptied all over her. She shook her head and shrugged her shoulders. Everyone looked around shrugged their shoulders.
