Two things crossed my mind at different points during this film:
- “Ever get the feeling you’ve been cheated?”
- Well, that was a waste of time.
Despite all that I can’t say I didn’t enjoy the flick. Very peculiar. Indeed. Things I remembered from school days were scattered aimlessly throughout, which always helps. Despite the purportedly modern setting moon boots, woven keychains, Dodge vans and bad hairstyles abound. How 70s – or is it 80s? – of you. Even with all the time distorting fashions you couldn’t help but identify with the mouth-breathing hero. That always makes for a passable, if long, time.
I still want to know the purpose of the poor action figure at the beginning. It’s like the watermelon in Buckaroo Banzai sans witty comment.
