Disappointed

I finally watched this film because I was off work sick and had nothing better to do, and really can't understand why it's so famous.

The son is nothing but a precocious, indulged, whining, annoying brat.

The music was dire the first time round, and not something I wanted to re-encounter (Mott the HOOPLE? Marc BOLAN? )

And the ending - what a cop-out.

All in all, a life-draining experience. - I'd rather have the 1 hour and 45 mins of my life back, which I could spend doing something more entertaining - like loading the dishwasher.

I have to agree. This is not a great film. Watchable? Yes.

This movie was interesting but not really that great and certainly not that funny. Oh well, every one has their down days I guess. ;-)

an essential? i think not. i think it might be called white trash by some. i found it very annoying and depressing. i certainly wouldn't recommend it.

It takes you one and three-quarter hours to load a dishwasher?

Going station to station is hunky dory but if the trip's low on heroes it can drive Aladdin Sane.
