Year of 1988 gave some really remarkable masterpieces in movie business and also a lot of underrated true gems that was slept on because of lack in the marketing production or etc. Unfortunately, this is one of 'em.
"Moon Over Parador" is such an underrated overlooked movie created by that amazing feeling of 80's, that kind of spirit and acting. It is about romance, action, true love and also a political satire of Latino American politics and life in rural cities by the corrupted government. Movie was filmed in such amazing locations of Brazil, San Salvador with amazing nature and abandoned districts with war written all over it.
The strongest performance, was by leading actor Richard Dreyfuss, he was absolutely amazing as the lead with his comic portrayal of an actor in a situation that is incredibly complex. His acting skills, and comical style really got this movie pretty funny and enjoyable to watch, especially because of his double role of an actor and a dictator. In some scenes it really kinda reminds of true masterpiece like modern Casablanca. Veteran funny man, Jonathan Winters is excellent in his role. The humour, directing and stunts are A+ in this flick.
I highly recommend this movie, especially for 80's and comedy lovers.
My Ratings: 8 out of 10.
