I was skeptical but I watched Peewees Big Adventure.
I thought for sure this would be the worst movie ever.
Turns out I laughed like a kid.
Rubin’s has good voice manipulation and can act.
He uses his body in hilarious ways. Classic humor.
I quit listening to Siskel and Ebert when they panned it. Siskel in particular came across as a typical Liberal-intellectual jerk with absolutely no sense of humor.
I felt the same way as you did above when it came to Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure. I thought it would be another dumb teen-oriented movie, and I saw it only because I got to the cinema too late to see the film I had planned on and didn’t want to turn around and go home.
I hadn’t laughed so hard at a movie since the first Naked Gun came out.
I really enjoy How Did This Get Made? with Paul Scheer, Jason Mantzoukas and June Diane Rafael as my go-to “funny people talk about bad movies” podcast.
