This pop culture smörgåsbord is a crowd pleaser

Rating: 8/10 (17 March 2017)

After 20 minutes on first view on DVD, I bolted. Too much to accept on face value and too much too follow while doing so..... Then I received numerous suggestions for a second take. I heard things like, "Dude, the soundtrack is from the '70's which you love". I also heard the Star Wars similarities, a little bit of The Wizard of Oz, and (you got it) the plot is actually a no brainer once you get past a talking raccoon (with a wise cracking New York City attitude) and all of the characters you are meeting shooting at each other. Who are we rooting for? Oh, all of them. I get it... let the sci-fi predictable adventure begin. Now you must get past that downer, but with our hero, his babe, a talking wood stick, aforementioned raccoon with the tide and a WWE wrestler, there's plenty to keep you watching.
