It was Excellent, but know...

Rating: 8/10 (6 August 1999)

I remember watching this film as I was growing up and I loved it. It was one of the few films I like that didn't have constant action, but a clever interplay between stereotypes of my day.
It's interesting now, at 28, I watched this movie again and it seems like a whiney typical American movie. In a way a bit like the characters that appear on the Jerry Springer show. People who try to blame their lack of successful on everything but themselves.
The other thing I notice now is the obsession society has with young people. This generation of, lets be honest, pretty naive selfish people have a ridiculous amount of time and consideration devoted to them considering they're in the minority.
Anyway a great theme song and an excellent movie at the age I was when I saw it. I think the movie probably does stand the test of time for a new generation, but as an older and wiser person it has lost a lot of its appeal.
8/10.
