Product: Super Mario Bros. [VHS] (1993)
Rating: 3.0
A Pleasant Surprise
Here's a kid's movie, at least with the title, but is really for both adults and kids:It has some likable characters, especially "Luigi Mario" (John Luguizamo); it has almost no profanity or blasphemy, and some of the special-effects are fun to view and humorous.Be warned the story is very stupid and Bob Hoskins, as the lead character "Mario," is too loud and abrasive in many spots. Dennis Hopper, though, does a nice job of restraining himself! Usually he plays a whacked-out character. Samantha Mathis is a pretty new face.Overall - better than anticipated; worth a rental.
