This movie is so 90s it hurts


The glasses, sunglasses, the women's short haircuts, the kid's rollerblades, baggy everything, Sheen's yellow walkman, and the plaid... good god, the plaid.

Also, were they purposely trying to make Charlie Sheen look as unappealing as possible? Nerd glasses, a crewcut and goatee, and 20 extra pounds do not suit him.

Considering it was made in 1996, what do you expect?

Correction, it was filmed in 1995. A little research goes a long way.

OP - if you're the voice of approval for the early 21st century, rest assured that within a couple of decades the kids will think your fashion, music, and vernacular make you appear a pathetic old-fashioned doofus too.

A movie made in the 70's. Is going to look like it was made in the 70's. E.T. Looks like it was made in the 80's. Does that make it a bad movie, No.

I'll take 90's fashions and trends over the fashions and trends of today any day.

Yup, cuz skinny jeans, big ass non-prescription glasses, leggings, hombre hair with part of it shaved, and a sleeve of tattoos so won't look ridiculous in 2025.
