Nicholas B 80s garbage. Amusing that's it's mostly regarded as an overlooked 80s gem. Everything feels intrinsically unnatural in this film. But hey, that's the 80s for you. As long as you can vibe to it's insipid cultural wares (which should be easier now for everyone since the 80s bizarrely went "classic"), you'll fall head over heels for this tone deaf vapid mess. I'd rather take some bad acid and drink a pail of white paint while trying to shave a pug with a lady shaver, than subject myself to this superficial, disposable crap again. Cheers Chip!

Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/22/25 Full Review Audience Member What a fun ride! Out of thousands of movies only a handful you can watch again and again and this is one of them! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/28/24 Full Review Audience Member A genuinely heartfelt film that really lives in a realm of its own. It has a classic film, completely setting itself apart from any particular era with its throwback elements (the outfits, the cars, the style). It shifts tones in a believable sense and packs a punch as it gets there. Love, sacrifice, loneliness, and finding qualities within that you didn't knew were there all thanks to a little nudge from love. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 11/03/24 Full Review gsm g Good take you back movie, Love the old cars and tracking down filming locations, watched this movie like a play with several acts or like reading a book taking breaks and coming back to finish the movie all the while pondering why Jeff d character would risk his normal life for one like this in the movie. Pause . I have twenty minutes left to finish watching. I saw Sister Carol in Mill valley at a show. I like how music is used in this movie with real musicians including the Freelies Pause. This movie is rich with trivia, locations 80s nostalgia and product placement. This movie makes you think , what would I do, Of course its highly unlikely you could keep up with someone on the run but for the plot it works. This is one of those movies where you count the times you would walk away from a situation but don't or This movie does not drag some movies like st vincent had so many cliches that I have to skip scenes I never felt that way in this movie. Pause,, enjoy! Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 06/15/24 Full Review Mike P Twisty cat and mouse mystery/suspense/comedy is very effective; switching manically back and forth between screwy caper comedy; and dark manic thriller; as a crazy, party-girl Lulu (Melanie Griffith) kidnaps the mousy, nerdy Jeff Daniels; and lesds down a maze of hidden traps and shock twists...As a high school reunion prank starts going way off the track...And we feel like we know where this is going; until the psychopath Ray Liotta enters into the game; and all bets are off..This is one of those movies that will genuinely surprise you; there's a twist in the third act that will knock your socks off. It's sort of What's up Doc; meets Pretty Poison; meets Straw Dogs...and all these leads, Ray Liotta, Jeff Daniels and Melanie Griffith; are terrific; all are at the top of their game here; and it's a pleasure to see all the power plays in this deadly love triangle game play themselves out ..In this deadly Paper, Scissors Rock game...And Jonathon Demme's reliably brilliant and quirky direction are the perfect springboard for this. Overall: Thumbs way up. A forgotten treasure from the 80s... Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/11/24 Full Review Read all reviews
