A surprisingly characterful chunk of stoner foolishness made on a shoestring in the late eighties - capturing a little something of the time and managing to spawn a belated and much loved franchise. You can see why really - despite the lone homophobic slur it's a film that's full of strange heart which rarely drags. It's essentially a madcap caper, like a "bit" from a weird 60's comedy show, spun out to feature length and infused with cheesy 80's glam rock and the occasional strangely clever joke. Easy to see why it gained the audience it did and much like Winter and Reeves themselves it's just genuinely hard to dislike.
