So many of my college students have said that it was their favorite movie over the years, that I finally got around to watching it.
It was kind of fun and watchable but had a couple of glaring plot holes about character motivation in some key points, but even more weird was Willem Dafoe cross-dressing, pretending to be a hooker a mob boss sent some of his henchmen as a perk, and ANY guy saying yes (unless he had a Willem Dafoe fetish).
His character in drag looked a little worse than Wendy the prostitute in BREAKING BAD.
If you've seen it, let me know what you thought.

(8,217 posts)I watched it a very long time ago. I even saw the sequel which is just not that great in comparison to the original.
It was fun, and yes there are plot holes. I think when it came out, people did not care as much about consistency as they do now.
I LOVED some of the deleted scenes. Particularly when their mother called.

The original was ok as a cult movie, but I never got around to watching it multiple times (like I think you're supposed to)
