I love this movie…always have, always will, and I could never understand why it didn't find its audience when it was released. Perhaps because it came out simultaneously with such dreck as "Weird Science", people never caught on.
I was reminded of this film while watching "School of Rock". Jack Black's light manic energy is the perfect doppelganger to William Atherton's dark malevolent sleaze. Also, there was the young cast that, aside from Val Kilmer, virtually never acted again. It gave me the feel of catching lightning in a bottle.
You actually get two movies here. The coming of age story of Mitch, and the comeuppance for Hathaway. The movie takes its time getting to these points, with lots of vignettes along the way, but that only makes the payoff sweeter because we know these people by the end of the flick. The resolution feels right. The science also feels right. Despite some reliance on movie science syndrome, where the "Eureka!" moment instantly produces a working result, the portrayal and terminology is accurate enough to keep me from wincing. No small feat. Throw in the soundtrack, and it all works.
Check out this movie. Be patient with it (I meant what I said about the pace), and you will be rewarded. |
