A 1980's Classic... I guess...

Rating: 6/10 (26 May 2019)

The '80's had a certain charm. The '80's also had a lot of bad hair, bad fashion, bad music, and bad acting in bad movies. I like Sigourne Weaver, but she was stiff as a board in this movie. Bill Murray was funny, but often mean-spirited in his humor (typical of the SNL alumni in the 1980's, but cheap and I don't like it). As for the rest, I find it all very silly. Rick Moranis, DanAkroyd, silly, silly. Ernie Hudson gave what was probably the best acting performance in this film (as the 6th lead... this guy was lucky to find a sandwich left for him at Craft Services). Anyway, this review proves that I am (at least attempting to be) unbiased in my critique of these films on IMDB. I really don't like this movie. I liked it as a child, and I resent it now as an adult. But, I can't argue that it was a big hit, that I DID like it (once upon a time), and that it contains some iconic moments in film.
So, I feel my 6 rating is more than fair. Come to think of it, I'm kind of like the King Solomon of IMDB...
