Semi-painless, but the only real audiences for this thing are Redgrave completists and people writing their thesis on the Republican Party in 1980s teen films.

even with the Alan Smithee label, Morgan Stewart's Coming Home isn't bad at all

All these years, I've kept a soft spot in my heart for it, in all its clumsy glory. Could I ever quite call it a good movie? Not really, not entirely.

In spite of Paul Aaron having his name taken off as director, it's really not all that bad. Cryer is funny as always and the plot is at least partially believable, especially given the time and place.

I love Jon Cryer in this movie. It's also got a good story, it's not fantastic, but it's a lot of fun and very funny, I really like this movie, and I highly recommend it.

You know, all of his posters and references more or less made up for the fact that this could possibly be the worst movie ever made. ;) Morbid Morgan! Woot!

Pretty stupid but as a child, I remember loving Morgan's horror collection and being totally jealous that he got to sneak out and go to midnight screenings of horror movies. Funny that whoever the director of the movie was thought it was so bad that he opted to change the credit to Alan Smithee - it's no worse than most of the other movies made at the time.
