I saw this movie under some messed up
circumstances. I saw it on SpectraVision in a cheap
hotel in Florida with a bunch of dorks in 1993. That
was one of the worst movie viewing experiences I have
ever had because it was so forcefully whack. This
movie is just about these folks who play crazy games
with each other. This dude is putting ice on her. This
dude is feeding her food while she is wearing a
blindfold. The girl dances around and sings the song
like they do in The Full Monty. She wears a tuxedo and
gets moderately freaky. Eventually he acts crazy and
starts beasting on her. In the end, they can only carry
on like this for 9 1/2 weeks.
In retrospect, this movie is funny to me because it is
the first movie I really scoffed and poked fun at.
Seriously, who was I to be acting that way? I was 11
1/2 years old. Back then I thought I would be eating
Cinnamon Toast Crunch every morning for the rest of
my life. Who the hell did I think I was, anyway?
Whatever. Regardless of what right I had to flex on
this movie, my reaction as a pre-teen is pretty
damning.
