Great Film overall
It is not deep, but it is fun to watch. It does have a bit more of an edge to it than other similar films.
It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,
The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
Many moons ago, I saw a test screening of this disaster movie in a theater with a couple of hundred others.Few if any saw the movie all the way through. About 20 minutes into the screening, someone got up and walked out. Then a couple of others. Then a mass exodus.Workers scrambled to get feedback as everyone exited, most responses were profane, this movie was so bad as to insult a non-paying audience.I am at a loss to explain a 6.6 rating, I can only speculate that either the movie was completely re-worked from scratch after the failed screenings, or that people involved in the production are soliciting shill reviews to bump the ratings.There's a reason you never saw this in a video store and it never even airs on late night TV.
Rented this in college back in 1991 with my bud Ardocki. We never stopped laughing or quoting from the movie for years. "But you don't understand. When the moon is full. I BECOME the wolf!" If you can find it, rent it. Tape it. Watch it again. Great B-Movie. The Pac-Man scene is a killer. "Wall of fish!
A hilarious jaunt through the lives of two complete losers, this film must not be missed. The jauntieness of it's hilarity is complete. Also, do NOT miss The Robot From Outer Space - it's excitement! it's suspense! it's excitement!What must die for the earth to live - see this film and find out!
This movie take an interesting look at a couple of losers in their prime. If you like off the wall comedy with a twist of sickness this is a must see.
