The Specials (2000)
6/10
good writing for Saturday afternoon
2 September 2006
I happened to just turn on my TV on a rainy Saturday afternoon and came upon this film on the way to another channel. I'd never heard of the film but wanted to see just a scene or two with the intention of going to something better (films on network TV, ESPECIALLY those on during a weekend generally suck.) But after seeing a slightly funny scene with Rob Lowe my interest was peaked. I continued to watch and found myself laughing out loud several times before the film ended. I can't believe I didn't know about this film! Actually, I can. The writing is superb (at least compared to what makes for a major release these days), but the director didn't have a clue. Funny, funny stuff, though. Definitely worth a viewing.
