Okay so sure the acting isn’t great/downright cringey at times (even from veterans like Chaz and Walken). And sure the dialogue feels like it thinks it’s more clever than it is. Sure this movie is a little clunky when viewing it through 2024 goggles. But damn it if this movie isn’t a token of my childhood that I will continue to have fond memories of well into the future. It’s almost makes you wonder what Mars Callahan would have done had he had a more fruitful film career.
I will say, one major strength, it’s makes playing pool look fuckin SICK. Immediately, I wanted to go play pool after rewatching this.
