The Worst


Does anyone else think that this is Cusacks worst teen 80's flick. Although it's still better then most.

reply

Yes. I don't remember laughing once during this movie and very rarely produced a smile. Cliche-ridden and trite. The only thing that saves this movie from being a complete and total waste of time is Cusack...and that's saying something b/c it's not even his best acting role; far from it. Just a bad and boring movie.

You say that it's his worst. Why? No, this movie isn't funny.. wasn't supposed to be funny!
So I ask you this: In what way, do you think this is his worst?

reply

Where do you get the information that this movie was NOT supposed to be funny? I can understand how you can come to this impression of how the movie should be viewed but everywhere I have looked it has been marketed as a Comedy or Action-Comedy. I don't see too many places listing it as a pure Action or Drama flick. Are you on dope? If so, please pass some of that over here.

Maybe I was wrong stating that it wasn't meant to be funny.., after all, I did find it for renting (way back when) in the comedy aisle of the video store.
-Um.., no.., I'm not on dope.

You wouldn't know a comedy if it bit you in the ass. This movie is great.

Its been forever since ive seen this movie. I think it was 1987!!!. There was a funny part when he meets up with the guys to drive him. They get stuck in the water and jungle. Cleo gets out to wash the car. Its just funny when jonh ask him what he is doing. Funny!!! I guess i should watch it again in this decade.

Some movies don't fit perfectly as a specific type. This one has some funny moments but I certainly don't see it as a comedy, doesn't have enough action to be an action movie, if anything it probably fits as somewhat an adventure/some other aspects mixed in.

It's probably Cusack's weakest '80s film, but it's not bad – just disappointing.
