Constant yelling

I'm 30 year old and like these kind of movies. Wathing this for the first time now, and I love the atmosphere, and so cool to see corey Feldman in his kid-prime. 50 minutes in, and why can't this movie take 1 minute off the yelling? It's annoying. Am I the only one annoyed by this?

I'm not sure what you mean but I think this is one of the worst films ever made. It is on TV now, and I haven't seen it for 15 years. The film is truly annoying due to yelling and awful direction. And it could have brought atmosphere if it truly tried.

This movie stay on TV now I brought the DVD 2 years ago, classic movie but I agree the screaming is annoying. Especially Chuck he was truly annoying.

Am I the only one annoyed by this?

No. But probably in the minority.

Let's be bad guys.

It has huge nostalgia value, so it doesn't annoy me - but plenty of "young people's" films annoy me these days because I find them contrived and try far too hard to be hip and cool.

I'm watching this film now, and the yelling is very very annoying.

I feel like I should be annoyed by it, but I'm not. Although I certainly wouldn't want to be around Chunk's hollering, his character doesn't get on my nerves. I just see all the yelling as... realistic.

You want something corny? You got it!

I've never been bothered by the kids yelling. However, the loudness=comedy is something of director Richard Donner's trademark, as the Lethal Weapon films and Scrooged have numerous scenes with characters yelling.

I love this movie and didnt find they yelling annoying at all and I was 23 when I saw this movie back in 85

The "yelling" in this movie never bothered me. Having said that, I don't think I'd wanna spend more than 3 minutes around kids like that in real life.

Anyone here mentions Hotel California dies before the first line clears his lips.

I agree with ya, those kids so obnoxious. I know the film is beloved by many but I have no desire to watch it again.

I have never understood why people on these boards as so easily annoyed by kids.

Yes, I wished the movie could have slowed down a few times to let the kids have a normal conversation for a few minutes, just for contrast. The relentless screaming and yelling gets exhausting after a while.
