S. S @RT95662087 Apr 15 Anyone who gives this movie a bad review has never lived through the '80s. It is an exaggeration of course it's theatrical, this is the funniest most heartfelt depiction of what '80s culture was like second to Stranger things. The 39% rotten tomatoes score offends me. The cast alone is filled with some of the funniest people to ever grace the screen. Amy Poehler and Molly Shannon. It's weird, quirky, funny and very endearing and slightly inappropriate. I love that it pulls no punches, it's not politically correct and if this movie doesn't at least make you smile then the problem is not the movie the problem is you.

AND your heart's desire is to see a spoof of meatballs... and you love the cast [seriously, that's a pretty great lineup] you might find something worthy here... maybe.

The popcorn meter / audience score is in the 70's whoch is better but this (and I know it's completely subjective) is one of the richest, funniest movies I've ever seen. I've loved this jewel since being puzzled by its artwork on the video store shelf in 2001. Being a fan of MTV's 90's sketch comedy shoe, The State, I was thrilled to see much of that creative team involved. I've read blurbs over the years of it becoming a Cult favorite but gotta day when I decided to rewatch it as well as the 2 followup series on Netflix and noticed the original movie had such a low score on Rotten Tomatoes, I was surprised.... then I wasn't. Sorry to get negative but taste, appreciation for and intelligence of (yeah, I went there) seems to be at a low these days. Many people's idea of humor now is social media based involving 30-second or less clips or simply being mean to others. Don't get me started on the current axe that's been swung into standup comedy and its integrity. Ok, I'm whining. Sorry. Just had terrible family news and was looking to raise my spirits with this and again was surprised by its low RT score so I'm posting this review. If you've never seen this or are on the fence and you love 70's/80's/90's summer comedies, this is an ode to that era treading the fine line of stupid and genius. See more Read all reviews
