Rewatch and easily one of the best teen movies ever created and needsssssssss to be a cult classic. The way this movie still holds up. And the soundtrack still top.
I used to own this on dvd and honestly I need to find it. Was obsessed with it in 2001 and still obsessed.
Ok I have opened this review three times. The way this film should be studied for toxic fan culture, capitalism, over consumption, and probably more. It’s so dumb but also in its best stupidity it makes so many good points.
Two things: I want the pink beanie and you know what they say about potatoes.
Look is this great? No. Is it kinda predictable? Yes.
Is it fun? Yeah. Its just silly and and an easy watch. I do wish there were a couple different elements to it, but I still enjoyed it and laughed a lot more than I thought I was going to.
I will update this when I fully gather my thoughts. But this movie is perfect.
This has everything you want in a movie and more. The intensity builds the muscle of the story and doesn’t let the grip soften. It builds to a glorious 80’s ending that is unexpectedly perfect. The physique comes when the characters dive deeper into the complexity and the growth into obscurity.
I will say this movie will hit film lovers right in the correct spot and others will say “that was weird.” Here’s the perfection of it though, film snobs (me) and others can find common ground and go “that was great. I would like another dose.”
