The lead role, known as Mikey Saber, is a disorganized scumbag who cares about his own pleasures and nothing else, so why is he so likable and disarming?
Could it be his gigantic penis and his ability to charm people who should know better than to touch him with a barge pole? The last thing you need is a Mikey Sabre character walking into the household and stirring up the local community, but maybe that's the whole point? We need such characters in our dull lives, even on our dull movie screens.
Even with recognized drug dealers on the doorstep, life is pretty tepid in this hokey town and nothing happens much at all. Even though we detest the bad boy and ultimately cast him out, perhaps he stimulates the most exciting month EVER?
Personally, I had to review this movie in retrospect because I didn't like it that much at first, but after comparing it to so much tiresome fodder on the screen today, I can now see the irreverence behind it all. If you're looking for a moral summary, you're not going to find it here, as Mikey swans off to his next adventure, literally with the clothes on his back, two hundred dollars and his new beau at his side, which is all he really wants from life and all he deserves.
After all, I liked Mikey for being an asshole and hitting the self destruct button, which is his problem, not mine, who succeeds in prejudicing himself but also helps to make things interesting along the way.
