..a good office worker's movie! If you work in an office or if you don't, you'll like this comedy by M. Judge. It's clever, and was originally designed "skip work and go see me" type of flick...Which is what I planned on doing but it wasn't a big hit in my town and the theatre got rid of the daytime shows. Anyway, it's got a little of everything for those who are sick of their jobs, etc. Very funny, if subtle.
If not for all the hype and publicity surrounding the bloated budget of this movie (not to mention the bad shot location & decision making by mgmt.), I think it would have been a huge sleeper hit. Minus Dennis Hopper's cigarette smoking goofball character (where did they get so many cigarettes?), the film is still really good. I think most will enjoy it, if unbiased before watching... Waterworld has alot of good qualities, and is quite original considering it is of the worn out "post-twentieth century apocalyptic" genre.
If you like movies about dusty, small southern towns that are hiding a crime/mystery/secret, then this one's for you! It has all of the elements to keep you watching. Centered around the police chiefs of the town and serial killer, over a long period of time. Psssst....The men who play the police chiefs are all great actors.
