      Wow, how many awful stereotypes can you get in one bad rap?

      This film was hilarious when I watched this as a pre teen. Noise noise noise am like a booger I stick to this. Take a whiff of this. One stinky winky 2 stinky winky.

      I still sing this bit when am having a silly moment.

    One of my favorite terrible movies! 4% is pretty harsh, though… I thought John Leguizamo was genuinely funny in many parts, even if the movie was painfully juvenile and hasn’t necessarily aged well… 😬

      My brother and I certainly thought it was hilarious at the time. I believe 4% is pretty harsh too. Is it because it’s mocking all these racial stereotypes? John Leguizamo’s energy in this movie is so manic.

        Could be. I don’t want to read the reviews and cloud my memories 🤣. I never felt like he was punching down, the stereotypes were so broad, and Pest was an idiot for the most part. I could be rationalizing from my naive teenage memories though…

      I would assume it’s because few were rating it when they left the theater and the critic reviews are archival

        Most likely that the people who watched since Rotten Tomatoes was a thing knew what they were getting into or had fond memories from when they were younger.

        Would have been different for exit audiences for sure.

      When I was a kid I rewound the VHS to make sure it was what I thought it was. I saw it again years later and it looked more like bubbles but who knows.

    It’s always fun to look back at now established actors and see the movies they started in vs the movies they’re in now.

    Never would’ve thought Van Wilder would be in superhero movies.

      didn’t guess ‘superhero’ genre specifically, but i knew first time i saw reynolds on tv in the early-ish 90s that he’d be a huge star.
