good god this was awful!

Agree with the previous poster, I wouldn't go that far either.

I watched it when I was around ten, then re-watched it a few times, which means that I liked it for some reason. So, when I had an opportunity to watch it again yesterday, I seized it, pretty much out of curiosity. And... I kinda got why I liked it as a kid. The film is certainly not bright, most of what happens is pretty dumb, and not always intentionally, but it's dumb in a fun way, if you know what I mean, at least, to me. The movie isn't good, but at the same time is very likable, and not just because of the 80s kitsch vibe. There's Akroyd's performance, always a great comedian... there's Basinger, who isn't (wasn't ?) a good comedian, but on the other hand, is Basinger with her natural charm and that feeling of genuine kindness that makes her even more radiant... Jon Lovitz, enough said... there's also Bag, a dumb-but-funny idea (the only original element of the scenario)... oh, and there's the ADORABLE (and already the best cryer ever) Alyson Hannigan, who almost makes the movie worth watching by herself. :)

Anyway, again, I agree it's not a good movie, but putting aside my cynicism allowed me to kinda enjoy it for what it was, and I don't regret it.

You people are retarded. Movies fine

I think is one of the most touching human stories ever told in the big screen. I'm not even kidding, the way Celete learns about the mankind and experiences the grandest and most joyful human feelings, this is a poem to the human race. And the score makes it all even more beautiful and perfect.
