I'm a fan of John's. He has brought us movie fans some great classics: The Blues Brothers, Trading Places, Animal House, and An American Werewolf in London. It was nice to see one of his earlier projects.
I liked the feel of this movie, it had a Saturday Night Live feel to it with more edge. Sort of speak, what SNL couldn't get away with, this movie did. I did enjoy KFM over all. It had some very funny sketches and clever ideas. Is it the best made movie of all time? Of course not. This is when John was just getting started. And you can't make an omlet without breaking a few eggs, right? Ha ha ha... ha. Blah. Anywho, I think John Landis fans should have fun with this and I think you'll enjoy it. It's a pretty funny movie after all.
8/10
