Review of Fun

Fun (1994)
2/10
As in "Not Much"
17 June 1999
This film was disappointing. I thought some of the acting was very weak (especially anytime Alicia Witt had a "ranting happy" scene). The actors playing the 'adult inquisitors' have no chemistry together, as demonstrated in the horrible "funny" back and forth they give each other.

This was based on a play, and I'm sure the play is better. This could be a radio drama, as the advantages of "film" are never really used (only the actual murder scene and a sped-up "hanging out" montage are cinematic at all, the rest was just like a filmed stage performance).

Renee Humphrees was fantastic, a surprise after seeing her light and fluffy appearance in 'Mallrats'. The woman playing Mrs. Foster is good, too. But I probably wouldn't recommend it- unless you're an "Old Lady Mutilation" completist.
