A GREAT (late) 90'S FILM!
|
This film's got some hilarious moments, which I won't spoil for you. It's got good character development and all the essentials that make a movie enjoyable and un-stupid. People often compare this to PORKY'S, which is totally pointless, since invariably people that like PORKYS will probably hate this film and people that like this film will probably hate PORKYS. The 80's was just a different time. It had its own style, its own atmosphere, so does the 90's (although defining the 90's is much harder to do than it is defining the 80's...). I also wouldn't call this a "90's film" either, unless I was just being arrogant (which I sometimes am, I admit) or vague (which I also sometimes am, since reality is kinda confusing sometimes...what MAKES a film good? Hard to say...), b/c the 90's was weird...it kept changing and it was almost like two or three decades in one. The early 90's was loud and dirty (Nirvana and Snoop Dogg), the mid 90's was kinda a cross between that and soft/mellow (Alanis Morissette) and the late 90's was mostly soft and mellow (Sarah mcLachlan and Backstreet Boys). Even in cinema, looking at a frame of DON'T TELL MOM THE BABYSITTER'S DEAD and this film, you wouldn't think they were from the same decade, unless you had great knowledge of the 90's (which I do, somewhat).
This film is kindof the seminal late-90's film, 'cause it deals with a lot of the things that teenagers go through, primarily puberty and the whole carrage that brings, but it also deals with the consequences of focusing too much of sex, like: been there, done that. Who wants a life like that at 25? Kinda like maturity, ya know? And the film also keeps it real by having genuine romance; I guess you could say this film is a token to the young generation from an older one, letting kids know that it's okay to experiment if you feel like you have to, just know that there's bigger things out there and not to get lost in the confusion and keep it fun...maybe...I don't know. It seems like a passage of wisdom, yet it doesn't talk down to the young folks (I'm not old, but I'm no longer a teenager and I didn't do almost all the things in this film, so I'm not the best judge as to what the 'wisdom' supposing I'm right about that is exactly). Anyway, I think I've said my 2cents. Good-day! |
