Inconsistent, but fun
Although the movie is somewhat inconsistent with how well the story comes together, it's still a fun movie that really has a lot to offer. The characters are fun and likable while the concept really strings together as something original.Having read the early scripts I can say that the earlier versions of the film were much more exciting and interesting. This only makes the film itself all the more unfortunate since quite a bit of footage that could have made everything much better was cut. As slipshod as the editing is you have to wonder why they would remove what would have given them more to work with.In the end, it's well worth a watch. Give it a chance and see the kind of filmmaking that defined the '90s. It's something that could have only been made then, though it will always be great.
