You know my reviews are all about setting the right points for the right contents. You know that this is a cheesy fun movie from the 80s, so with that baseline I operate.
I am going to watch a silly movie for laughs, and boy do this movie delivers! It is classic laughs. It has boobs, and while Tom Hanks is not missing a red shoe (wink wink) his performance is funny enough. If you want to laugh, look no further. And of course, since we have stated that this is going to be a silly movie, do not expect anything serious on it.
So why the 7 points? Well, the biggest problem is the music. It is everywhere and it serves almost no purpose. Then is the shouts. The guys are shouting almost all the time. Hey! I lived thru the 80s myself, and I did some weird things and being on parties not that dissimilar than the one portrayed, but the amount of shouts is just excessive, both for a movie and for a real life event. Finally, there are some plot holes here and there, some parts that need not to be there, and some parts that could have been further developed.
So, my verdict is to go watch it if you are on a lower Wednesday night and need to raise your spirit. You will laugh for sure, but get ready for the shouting and annoying music.
