Task: Sentiment Analysis
Input (English): if anyone had been able in 1983 to forsee a late - night cable show hosted by gilbert gottfried showcasing some of the worst films of the 80 's , they 'd agree d .
c .
cab is the quintessential " usa up all nite " movie .
it 's one of those childish r - rated movies that kids would love but ca n't see until it 's edited for tv .
it 's also one of those pointless , almost plotless movies with hardly any laughs .
and , strike three , it pairs mr .
t with gary busey .
i heard gilbert say d .
c .
cab had " an all - star cast , " but
i 'm still hoping there was some degree of facetiousness in that statement .
when third - billing goes to a two - minute appearance by famed flashdancer irene cara " as herself , " you ca n't say a damn thing about all - star casts .
likewise for token appearances by marsha " roz " warfield , paul rodriguez and
" politically incorrect " host bill maher , before he was somebody .
appearing in d .

cab pretty much had the opposite effect on everyone else , especially irene
" i 'm gon na live forever " cara .

cab is an ensemble comedy from joel schumacher ( who would go on to direct batman forever ) about a bunch of misfits who drive cabs .
you get the feeling if the police academy cadets had made a different career choice , this would be the result , except here you have such interesting characters as the " token white guy " ( busey ) who wants to get in tight with the blacks now before they take over the world , the token jive talker named tyrone ( charlie barnett ) who wears his hair in rollers and uses the word " honkey " as much as possible , the tough guy with the mohawk and gold chains ( mr .
t -- a real stretch for him )
, the aspiring musician waiting for his big break ( maher ) , the mexican gigolo ( rodriguez ) , the woman who actually wants to drive cabs for a living ( warfield ) and the guy who wants to own a cab company for a living ( adam baldwin ) .
we 've all seen dozens of bad comedies from the 80 's .
some are fun to watch and some are actually funny .
this one is more or less neither .
you 'd think plenty of comedic sparks would fly from the assemblage of talent ( whatever ) , but d .
c .
cab more or less
falls flat on a continual basis , culminating in the usual contrived hollywood finale as baldwin is kidnapped and the other cabbies have to go to rescue him .
it 's a shame
no one was able to rescue this movie from the depths of stale jokes and unoriginality .
d .
c .
cab has rightly earned its position on " usa up all nite . "
