This is a very different film.
The premise is stupid, the jokes and physical stunts are stupid, the plot is stupid and the characters are stupid.
But it works. It works very very well. The screenplay is perfectly created, with small characters filling great parts to create logic momentum to the weirdness. It is dark, but at the same time bright in the way a neon-filled 80's summer movie should be.
Everything fits together neatly, and if you can go into this film with the right mood, expecting nothing but a stupid 80's comedy - you're going to have the best 100 minutes of your life.
I keep coming back to this film. Just bought it and re-watched it on Blu-ray (in 2019), and it is still amazing. I still laugh out loud. I know the dialogue, I know what's going to happen, I know the pacing. But it is still fun.
This is what you would get if Roland Emmerich or Michael Bay made comedies. One of the best movies ever made - and the reason for that is: it is entertaining. All the way.
