Verdict:
This film has a very specific demographic in mind. You must be between 6 and 16, female and live in the 1980s. If you fall out of this demographic and still like the movie, I don’t understand.
Where to even start? This film goes down the checklist of stereotypes and then persists to repeatedly smash them into the viewer’s face, perhaps hoping it will become funny eventually. There is a Chinese character in the film named Long Duk Dong and the movie keeps inserting the sound of the gong when he shows up. This movie can’t be from 1984 because it is clearly only 8 years old. Racism can be very funny! Even rape, as Geroge Carlin put it, can be hilarious. This movie isn’t though.
People in this film utter some of the most clichéd and dumbest lines I have heard in the history of cinema. You get poop and underwear jokes. Only top of the line stuff right here, folks. The acting is sometimes tolerable, but any attempt at quality acting is spoiled by the writing.
Plot does not make sense. Characters do things because the scenes call for it and their actions and reactions bear no relation to reality. The characters themselves are paper cutouts with boobs and penises glued to them. There is no character development, just cringy dialogue.
The music is the cheesiest 80s synth.
Is it a complete wreck? No, even a broken clock is funny twice a day…or something like that. And it is a feel-good movie, because it is just mindlessly messing around. Also, it is only about an hour an a half long…Yes, I am clutching at straws here.
This movie is mindless juvenile fun, but that is about all you can get out of it.
