Under the Rainbow

In 1939, Hollywood is abuzz with preparations for 'The Wizard of Oz.' Simultaneously, a group of midgets, including a spunky reporter and her photographer husband, attempt to infiltrate the studio lot in disguise. Their goal is to expose the alleged inhumane treatment of the actors playing the Munchkins, but they find themselves entangled in studio politics and unexpected hijinks.

Under the Rainbow was met with overwhelmingly negative reviews from critics and audiences alike, becoming a notorious box office bomb. It is frequently cited as one of the worst films of the 1980s, largely due to its perceived offensive humor and disjointed plot.

• Widely panned for its offensive and dated humor, particularly concerning its portrayal of little people.
• Criticized for a nonsensical and unfocused plot that struggles to generate laughs.
• Considered a significant misfire by both its star, Chevy Chase, and its studio.

Google audience: While specific Google user ratings are not readily available, historical reception indicates a strong public dislike for the film, with many viewers finding its humor to be tasteless and its premise offensive.

Chevy Chase, one of the film's stars, later disowned the movie, reportedly stating that he was unhappy with the final product and the direction it took.
