OK, so part of me was waiting to hear Jeff Bridges say "Nobody calls me Lebowski, man. I'm...The Dude. You got the wrong guy." SPOILER ALERT: He never says this! I liked this movie and not for pervy reasons. Sue me. Having seen "Manos: The Hands of Fate" calling this the "worst movie ever" seems like hyperbole. It's got that typical inspiration. It's got some silly "bad girl" moments, like the fact that Haley often wears clichéd Mountain Dew-esquire rebellion in Black Flag and Motorhead t-shirts. The soundtrack will have to be a 4 disc set because it's constant short-attention-span pop/rock soundtrack.
Still, I liked the characters. I liked the Hollywood style feel-good idealism. And I like any movie that's about sticking it to the man. Do I dare say it's "Slapshot" aimed at 12-year-old girls?
