His friend Ray has found a good site for a ski resort in Utah, and Monte comes to bid on the land, competing with local banker Preston Gates. Monte knew that, in order to take possession of the land, he would have to convert to the local religion, a sort of cross between Mormonism and Amish (no smoking, no drinking, bigamy and simple living/dressing encouraged). What he didn't know was that the deed to the land also included the three wives of the deceased former owner. He also buys another plot, and the two wives that come with it, in part because they are much better cooks. Gates, meanwhile, wants the land to build an Indian casino, and is mixed up with some mobsters. There's a trip to Las Vegas, a female-empowerment seminar, a jailbreak, and other complications too absurd to mention.

My Five Wives is good, but not as great as My Five Guys Burgers And Fries!

A little Rodney goes a long way for me (I still think he's Oscar-worthy in "Caddyshack") and I never much liked his star vehicles, especially ones like this where he's clearly way too old and unwell to pull the sort of thing off.
Well, it started very nice and funny, but later on, it turned out to be much closer to stupid. If they realy threw out their husband, they may have been pointed as lesbians. It would made sence to me at least.
If you like Rodney Dangerfield, you will like this movie. If you don't like his comedy, you won't like this movie.
This is Rodney's best movie. It's just him slinging one liners for an hour and a half. He also has 5 wives, how could this movie be bad?
This movie was so good, I remember it being all over the movie channel when I first got shaw cable. He was such a funny guy.
