About This Movie

Bette Midler's Mondo Beyondo is a quirky blend of comedy and music, cleverly spoofing the talk show format. Midler shines as the over-the-top Italian bombshell hostess, bringing her unique flair and energy to the screen. The pacing has that classic TV special feel, with a mix of skits and guest segments that keep things lively. The lineup of guests is certainly one of the film's charms; David Cale's monologue, Bill Irwin's mime artistry, and the eccentric Kipper Kids create a wonderfully chaotic atmosphere. It’s a delightful showcase of Midler’s comedic chops and her ability to hold together such a bizarre ensemble. There's a rawness to the practical effects and performances that captures the spirit of late '80s television.
