Featured review
This is where Chris Farley found his "character"
Of course this movie is a low-budget pile of cr@p that stained everyone involved, but if you grew up as a fan of Saturday Night Live in the 90s you HAVE to see this movie. Or at least a 4 minutes of it.
At approximately the 49-minute mark (I recorded it on my PVR) the scene where Darryl Hannah's stunt double gives away her baby ends with her wailing in a parking lot. Cut to a scene where hoods Keith Carradine and Joe Morton enter a one-table restaurant to set up a deal with Dirk Blocker. As the scene unfolds, Blocker gives up his seat to Divine. Forget Divine, Carradine and Morton. Keep your eyes on Blocker.
What you will see is the physique, hair and mannerisms that Chris Farley would adopt. After you see it, you'll want to tell your friends about it, to illustrate what a keen eye you have. I woke up my wife just to show her that segment. She said, 'Oh yah, 100 per cent."
The only other thing I found interesting was trying to figure out whether Keith Carradine was transitioning? And if so, into what?
Also, why would anyone live in Depression City? Aka Seattle? Ken Griffey Jr - the most cheerful player in MLB history - knew when to get out. Kris Kristofferson's character said it made him think about dying. This movie might just make viewers think that their lives are dragging on a bit too long.
