Well hell, let's watch Lethal Weapon 4

Rating: Null/10 (5 October 2004)

I don't know what the hell moonspinner is talking about. You can pull negative criticism out of your ass on any movie. He is missing the point. This is the archetype for the daily lives of teenagers.. yeah, their characters are cliché, but they need to be. This is quite simply the definitive paradigm for teenage life in the modern west. The western free world, being inherently capitalist, creates certain dilemmas which this movie deals with. Many of these problems wouldn't be inherent in a different socio political culture, but they are, being that we are here rather than there, and we need to realize just what happens to us and those others, the latter and the former congruent to age, where these things become prominent. Most kids are a mixture of all of these types, but it's important to divide them (and cliché them) in order to get the point across---definitely for clarity's sake. This movie is excellent.
