Everything about Chairman Of The Board Film totally explained
Chairman of the Board is a
1998 movie starring
Courtney Thorne-Smith and
Carrot Top in which a surfer/inventor (Carrot Top) inherits and runs a billionaire's company. To some critics, it's considered Carrot Top's rendition of
Billy Madison. It was poorly received by critics and moviegoers alike.
The movie cost an estimated $10,000,000 to produce, but made $306,710.
Plot
Edison (Carrot Top) is a poor, failed inventor and surf bum, but soon runs into and befriends wealthy business magnate Armand McMillan (
Jack Warden). When Armand passes away shortly thereafter, he leaves Edison the majority of shares in his large invention corporation, and leaves his jealous nephew, his only living relative, Bradford (
Larry Miller) only a surfboard. Bradford attempts to derail Edison's success by stealing his formula for
glow in the dark, which doesn't exist in the world of the movie, and sharing it with a consumer who covers himself in it and alleges that Edison's prize invention—a portable TV/
TV dinner combo—leaks radiation. When Edison reveals to all that radiation causes sickness and death—but not a literal glowing—and that he'd invented the formula for glow in the dark, the company is saved and Edison appoints beau Natalie Stockwell (
Courtney Thorne-Smith) to run the company.
Publicity
Before the movie was released, Thorne-Smith appeared on
Late Night with Conan O'Brien, where
Saturday Night Live comedian
Norm Macdonald (who was also a guest on Conan's show) derided the concept of doing a film with Carrot Top. When Conan asked Smith the title of the film, Macdonald interjected that if it had Carrot Top in it, a good title would be "Box Office Poison". After Smith revealed the actual title, Conan jokingly retorted to Macdonald "Do something with that, ya freak", to which Macdonald thought for a moment and replied "I bet the 'Board' is spelled 'B-o-r-e-d'", which triggered Conan to burst out laughing. The film was also briefly spoofed in
Austin Powers, where Austin Powers uncovers Dr. Evil's plans for malevolence, which include a "Carrot Top Movie".
Reception
The movie appears in IMDB's top 20 worst rated films of all time. Comedian and former
Mystery Science Theater 3000 host
Michael J. Nelson named the film the fifth worst comedy ever made.
