The H bad movie with originally good intentions Rated 2 out of 5 stars 11/18/23 Full Review Audience Member aka, THE CENSUS TAKER, this is a near perfect time capsule that was the 1980s. A somewhat dark comedy that's not hilarious by any means, but it is funny and if you can remember or understand the mentality of the 80s then this is a perfect cocktail party movie to put in on the background or when everyone's properly soused and just wants to sit around the boob tube for 90 minutes. Added bonus: Hardly anyone has seen this movie it seems. Be the first one on your block to be the cool film geek! Dork. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member Timothy Bottoms is great in this movie. Superior black comedy! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/16/23 Full Review Read all reviews
