What the hell was that?
It’s hard to critique a movie that doesn’t take itself very seriously. On one hand, it’s absurd and squanders an attempt at suspense with its silliness, but on the other hand it’s got a fantastic screenplay with some unforgettable one-liners.A cult classic with plenty of dark humor that couldn’t help but remind me of Heathers, and some cheesiness that reminds you it’s from the ’80s. Clichés are intentional and part of the fun, and the soundtrack fits right at home. It begs to laugh with you and will get your attention like a class clown.
A great party movie, it’s fun with lots of creativity and a hint of intelligence.
A Bizarre Type of Comedy
This film begins with a car driving erratically on a lonely highway somewhere in the Mojave Desert. Noticing the car swerving back and forth on the road a motorcycle cop pulls the driver “J. Frank Parnell” (Fox Harris) over and curious as to what might be in the trunk proceeds to open it. He is then immediately incinerated and Parnell proceeds to drive haphazardly away. The scene then shifts to Los Angeles where a white suburban punk named “Otto” (Emilio Estevez) is in the process of being fired from his job at a grocery store. Later that even he finds his girlfriend “Debbi” (Jennifer Balgobin) in bed with his bestfriend “Duke” (Dick Rude). So with few other options he accepts a job as a repo man-and that’s when things really get bizarre. Now rather than reveal any more I will just say that this was an unusual film which caught me by surprise the first time seeing it. I especially enjoyed all of the minor details thrown in which gave this movie its special character. Anyway, I recommend this film to those viewers who might be interested in a weird type of comedy of this type and I have rated it accordingly. Above average.
