...when he voted this the absolute worse film of '94?!! He uses the word "hated" over and over in his review. It's a children's film for crying out loud! I really don't find anything offensive about it. If I had kids, I'd much rather they watch this than a lot of other trash out there. Of course, he calls the vile, repulsive "Natural Born Killers" which came out the same year a "masterpiece."

The movie wasn't that bad. I actually enjoyed most of it, and the ending was perfect.
shareYou have no room to question taste when you think North is a great film but Natural Born Killers is vile and repulsive.

I don't know if it was that bad. It had some moments. Ebert mostly seems upset because it was giving a bad example to kid. But it was meant as a comedy, not to be taken seriously as a suggested way of living. What has come out since this has made it look pretty decent, really.
