Rob Lowe


So I see that Rob Lowe won for worst supporting actor for his role in this movie, and I want to hear from people that have seen this movie, do you think his performance was that bad? Do you think he deserved to win for worst supporting actor and why or why not?

reply

While his character was a fairly lousy human being, I don't think Lowe's acting was any better or worse. He played an aging, charismatic frat boy that refused to grow up - I'd day he pulled it out about as well as anyone could have at the time.

reply

I agree. When I think of poorly played roles, he’s never stood out. I can certainly think of worse. Besides, they weren’t going for an Oscar, and he’s eye candy. It’s all good for an 80’s Brat Pack flick.

reply

I didn't like this character because he was a drunk and was not being responsible to his marriage and his child. Talk about someone who didn't man up.

reply

I don't think his acting was that bad, but the character was just a complete douche.

^^^this right here
I kinda thought they were all pretty whiney and annoying btw

reply

Definitely. The guys were also very creepy and the girls were just fools letting them get away with it. Can you believe Demi Moore's character still being friends with Rob Lowe's character after he sexually assaulted her?

reply

No i couldnt buy any of the foolish behavior here...i also dislike stories about pretty,employed young caucasians 'struggling with adulthood'
Go fuck yourself movie...im a white dude and had very few complaints compared to black or brown dudes that lived ten blocks away growing up...
Was this Schumacher ripping off John Hughes and putting some 'edge' on it iyo..?

reply

Enough pretty white folks who struggle, but not this bunch of clowns who pretty much created all of their own problems. I can't believe Schumacher wrote and directed this, what I can believe is that he had trouble selling the script and that the head of one major studio called them "the most loathsome humans he had ever read on the page".

reply

Lololololol are you serious:)))))
I can see that !!!
Do you know the name of that studio head cuz he was totally correct...THIS was the most self centered group of beautiful shitheads ive ever seen in a film...i wouldnt give a single one of these assholes a match:)))
F'ing crybabies

reply

Unfortunately no, but Schumacher mentioned this himself. Hopefully because he knows it's true.

reply

Lololol
So true
This piece of crap was on HBO about 20 times a month when i was a kid...me and my sister must have watched it dozens of times...its still our little inside joke 30+ years later...i may literally 'hate-watch' this pc of crap again very soon...for giggles!
Thx Stratego...nice handle btw...i loved that game and usually won!

My sister and I have only seen this movie once, but we're still traumatized by it. The only thing I like is the theme song, because it's glorious 80s cheese. And originally written for a Canadian Paralympian who went around the world in his wheelchair, which is actually a much more interesting story.

Hey, last time I played I also won! Well, I lost, but only because my sister is a cheater, which she vehemently denies!

reply

Lolololol!!!!!
Sisters and boardgames ... A fellow just cant win;)
Lol literally made me giggle!!

reply

Well, I'm actually a gal, but it seems sisters are a burden to all of us! She probably says the same about me, but don't believe her! She's not only a cheater, she's also a liar!

reply

Lolololol
YOU are hilarious...thank you...crappy week at work and needed that:)
Cheers funny lady🍻

reply

Glad you're feeling better, buddy!

At home my sister is the stand up comedian, but over here I'm the one who gets all the laughs! It does help that she doesn't have an account.;)

When he was playing the saxophone in the bar, Rob took his mouth off the sax at one point and it kept playing LOLLLL
