As long as we recognize Lucas is washed up and most TV sucks, we'll all get along fine.

This looks promising.

It was........................................

Not much depth here, but it did what it meant to do, I spose. The defining trait of this movie was its stylistic choices, sort of 1960s amped up to 12.

As a writer, there was a bit of a cop-out for the big emotional payoff. They used a gimmick to make it so the movie writer didn't have to write anything actually moving, touching, or clever. It was cute, but I see right through that mess.

It was rated R, and called an action comedy. I have no idea why it was R, there wasn't much action, and I think I almost chuckled once.

So.
