Not as bad as its reputation suggests. Sure, it’s a mess, but there’s plenty here to entertain - the outrageous story, and Welch’s surprisingly good performance. A truly bad movie is boring and this one ain’t boring - check out the hilarious novel by Gore Vidal, too.
At least 50% of this movie is Neil Breen sitting in the desert in mom jeans surrounded by laptops, pretending to be a cyber-terrorist, while some boring narration drones on. There are only a few really funny scenes, including one in a hotel pool that is not to be missed. I hesitate to say that Breen’s movies have gotten better over time, but at least by the time he made Twisted Pair, he figured out that endless exposition over stock footage or desert scenes doesn’t make for great entertainment.
Nomi has a hair-trigger temper and beats her friend Molly’s car, vomits on it, and throws fries at her. Yet Molly and everyone else crawl all over themselves to give her free housing and jobs and be her best friend. Except for Gina Gershon, who is heavily invested in proving that Nomi is a “whore.” For Nomi’s part, she will simulate lesbian sex on stage in front of an audience, but don’t ask her to ice her nipples because that’s against her morals. This movie makes zero sense, but at least there are naked butts and boobs to look at. Can’t say that about Plan 9.
A psychology professor babysits a chimp as part of a nature vs. nurture experiment, hoping to prove that manners and morals can be taught even to a primate. Like “My Fair Lady” but with a monkey instead of Audrey Hepburn. Stupid but harmless, much like Reagan himself until he got into politics.
PJ Soles looks like a 30-year-old high school student, and the Ramones are an awkward presence unless they’re singing, but otherwise this is a fun little movie with a great soundtrack. Mary Woronov is funny as the authoritarian principal and Paul Bartel as a nebbish music teacher.
I don’t know about wonderful, but they’re pretty wild and definitely white. The Whites are an “outlaw” family in Boone County, West Virginia, who drink, fight, cuss, use drugs, shoot each other, and go to jail a lot. In their free time, they tap dance. They are so crazy that even their fellow West Virginians are disgusted with their antics which is saying something. This movie shows what might have happened in Deliverance if the guys didn’t go kayaking but instead stayed in town and partied with the locals. Three pill bottles way up.
