Fun Stuff

Trivia:
MGM had wanted a straightforward teen comedy, a genre that was enjoying great success at the time with films like Porky's (1982) and Fast Times at Ridgemont High (1982). Robert Altman had a different take on the idea, however. As he disliked the teen comedy genre, his notion was to make a satire of such films. more

Underrated, 15 January 1999
Author: Daniel Crean from Austin, Texas

Like many of Robert Altman's smaller movies, O.C. and Stiggs is under-appreciated. Most of the teenage movies that clogged up the mid-80's consisted of nothing more than stupid sex jokes and gross-out shots designed to humiliate straw men villains. O.C. and Stiggs is a movie where you feel that all sorts of things are possible. It's humorous in the best sense.

It remains a mystery why some of Altman's films are overrated (e.g. The Player and Come Back to the Five and Dime, Jimmy Dean, Jimmy Dean), while others are immediately forgotten.
