I have to say, even though the later segments of "I love the 90's" seem to have been filmed a bit too soon (I love 1998 and I love 1999 specifically) This walk down RECENT memory lane is quite refreshing.
Making appearances to jibe at last decade's pop culture are: Hal Sparks, Michael Ian Black, Michael Bolton, and countless others including Lord of the Rings' Dominic Monaghan.
Even if you HATE the 90's you'll get a chuckle of the comments from the various celebrities they feature.
Highlights include:
Dominic Monaghan doing the MC Hammer Dance; Hal Sparks doing the "Forbidden Dance"; Jibes at films such as Resivior Dogs, Point Break, Austin Powers, and more; Insults to Garth Brooke and Billy Ray Cyrus; The "hotties of the 1990's"; The dirty rocker guys of 1990's; And the answer to the infamous question "why in the world would you clone a sheep?"
"They're all the same, they wear wooly sweaters and they go baaah."~~Dominic Monaghan.
If you need a good laugh I suggest you keep your eyes on VH1's program listings and catch it the next time it's on.
I give this an 8 out of 10 stars.

The lamest movie I've ever seen in my life. Good for a few chuckles...but most of the humor is completely tasteless.
The "Big Jim Slade" character got old after a bit. The shower scene was vomitous. the funniest line in the whole movie was "Tough and Toothless", so that should be some indication of how juvenile the humor is.
If you're an 18 year old boy who has never seen boobies before, you might like it. Or if you've got a sick sense of humor, or an IQ of ten.
Other than that, PLEASE, spare yourself this disaster. Do not rent this one at all. It's not worth it.
I give it 0/10 stars.

A few things I liked about this movie: It stayed fairly close to the story.
The terror element in the scenes between Connie (Dern) and Arnold Friend (Williams) were present, as were in the short story by Joyce Carol Oates.
Laura Dern's performance was excellent, as a young girl experimenting with flirtations as she becomes aware of her budding sexuality. But something happens one day...
Somehow, inadvertently, she attracted the attention of "Arnold Friend". (If you remove the R's from his name you find his true nature).
SHe's afraid to come out of her house...she's afraid to stay inside, because he'd come in and get her. It makes the hairs stand up on the back of my neck, the same way it did when I first saw Carole Kane pick up the phone to hear "Are you in the house alone?"
I also like the way a lot of the Symbolism of JCO's original story remains intact.
What I don't like:
Treat Williams should not have been cast as Arnold Ariend. It should have been played by somebody far less attractive, and far more creepy.
They changed the ending. fine enough, as it would be hard to recapture the ending as written by Oates. However, the new ending made no sense.
4 out of 5 stars ;-)
