“I’m covered in caca!”
Apparently, this film’s original cut was over 2 1/2 hours long. 😳
I forgot how fun this film is. Yeah, it’s obviously bad in terms of quality. There’s quite a few adult jokes for this being a family film. There’s also some slight racism, a poorly aged depiction of deaf people, and a few uses of the r word. But I had a lot of fun, dammit! It’s something that could never be made today. I mean, would you ever see another film where a mob tries to kill an FBI working dog? David Arquette’s comedic performance and Michael Clarke Duncan’s usual good performance (but odd for a film like this) totally work here, though.
I wasn’t under the influence for this watch, but I bet it would’ve enhanced the experience.
