Well, when Cusack and Lizzie Caplan were sitting cross-legged on the counter, it looked an awful lot like Sixteen Candles.
I loved the movie for what it was. My wife and I both did. And I thought one of the best jokes was in the credits. Cast credits roll, and then right at the end:
Saw it this weekend and was pleasantly surprised at how not-bad it was It was a pretty good mix of stupid-clever. Were the 80’s really that garishly horrible?
I remember either one of the ski patrol guys or a guy at the bar using “McFly”, which I thought must have been a reference to Back to the Future.
I watched John Cusack on Craig Ferguson this weekend (woohoo! There’s a mind picture!), and John didn’t seem terribly interested in promoting this movie. In fact, he didn’t seem very interested in it at all - it seems kind of like a, “Well, the mortgage is due - better do some work” kind of movie for him. I’ll probably end up seeing it after all - as a child of the 80’s, I’ll get most of the references, I imagine.
Wow. That is truly amazing.
And if you get to the end of the article, there is a link where you can watch the movie, online, for free!
If it weren’t so late, I would watch it now - but will bookmark this “masterpiece” and check it out this week and get back to ya.
Thanks Merijeek for the link!
