Off the Hizzy!
This movie is made for the DVD format. Repeat viewings. While some may call it over rated, and unfunny, those would be individuals who do not know the definition of funny. Please consult Wester's dictionary, available for sale at this website.One thing I've never seen mentioned is how ironic and funny this movie was, as a statement of the 80's. The 80's are generally overlooked. But this movie, casually shows many instances of reference to this often overlooked decade. For instance:1) Did you notice they go for coffee in a restaurant coffee shop? Not a stand in line, barrista style Starbucks coffee shop. Very indicative of the office workers in the Silicone Valley offices. I worked at a restaurant very similar to the one in the movie, and the office workers often came for coffee in the mornings, at the Peninsula, California city I worked in. And no, they did not require us to wear "fringe."2) Did you notice the boss, as he walked around from desk to desk, he carried a ceramic coffee mug, not a papercup? Another indication of the 80's.3) The fact that this movie was centered around the Silicone Valley, and computer companies, again was an indication of the 80's computer rush.4) Many other 80's nostalgia references, can you think of any?Highly recommended.MC White said: Check it out!!!
