What if you fell in love at first sight and the other person reciprocated? And then what if later that day, you were tipped off an hour before a nuclear missile hit your city? That's Miracle Mile, a madcap romantic comedy about getting together before the big one drops. There's a lot of running around to be sure, and characters encountered along the way tend to drop out of sight, but the movie leaves just enough doubt as to what's really going to happen to make the objectively dark subject matter amusing. I mean, if it's all a big mistake, it's still not unlike the mix of anxiety and excitement of a fresh young love that you are desperate not to screw up. Everything and everyone seems to be in your way. It's panic exteriorized. If it IS true that it's all going to end in an hour, the metaphor still holds, minus the outside perception that people in love are "much ado about nothing". In any case, I think they went with the cleverest ending. 10 months 3 weeks ago -

This was really bad, right? Why do I have such fondness for it. I guess being simple has its advantages.
It was kind of like After Hours meets Night of the Comet. 9 years 9 months ago
