Great write-up! I owned this on dvd and was so sad when I lost it. Haven’t seen it in so long but I’m glad to see it’s worth a rewatch and not just built up in my mind.
This may be your best review yet. Thanks for covering it. I’m going to wager this is the best (and most positive) review of this movie on the World Wide Web.
And this is what’s great about covering these type of unloved movies whether it’s this, an old horror movie, etc. It give us the opportunity to give them a shot at redemption and present it better than it has ever been treated and written about before.
Now I know one more fan of it. The next logical step is matching tattoos right?
Also, real talk honest time here…I genuinely and with zero irony, love In The Year 2525 and that song is perfect to lead and end this movie with.
So many good tattoo possibilities with this film! Either Bronco on one arm and Brutus on the other or "Onius, Ainous, Anous = Magical"
I haven't seen Nacho Libre, but this film is so much more advanced than Napoleon Dynamite. I loved how complex the characters were.
I was never certain if Tabitha and Lonnie were using Benjamin or if the audience wasn't really meant to comprehend what good friends they were.
Judith initially seems so cloying and dreadful, but her clothes are actually really well designed and she's the one who ultimately takes Chevalier down.
And I loved how this movie was kind of a Gary Larson/Diane Arbus take on so many popular coming of age films. There's a lot of Rushmore-parody in this film, and a lot of every-Cameron-Crowe-movie-parody too.
Thank you you so much for introducing me to this movie, Kyle. I can't believe it's not more highly regarded.
