At age 11, I saw Big Trouble in theaters and embraced it for what it was. I had not seen a comedy with a similar tone before. It helped shape my sensibilities. At age 33 now, I still consider this among my favorite comedies.
Watched this one all the time back in the day, and it is definitely a watershed moment. I use the are we arriving or departing at the airport bit to this day, and it never ceases to get pained eyerolls.
I loved this movie and rewatch it about every six months- Farina is my hero is this movie. This led me to this video and your channel, so new subscriber - great video!!
Seriously, this movie and “Rat Race” are my two favorite comedies ever, and this totally nails exactly why that is! Such an amazing cast with a story that zips along and is unapologetically ridiculous and lighthearted. I LOVE IT!
I completely missed this one with everyone else but this sounds super fun! Thanks for the spotlight I’m going to check this out immediately. I love these videos! ❤
I literally just discovered this movie today and I was actually pretty big on the movie.Seen back in the 90s.Some surprise that this one went under my radar. Brilliant subservient and incredibly funny
I am a big fan of this low key flick. Tim Allens second best film IMO next too "Galaxy Quest". Well worth checking out. This is gonna be a great video, can't wait.
9:55 " Live action Daria " Damn, you nailed it. This is one of my favourite comedies, I've watched it multiple times. I also own the Daria DVD box set. Deschanel totally channels Daria style dry laid back energy in this movie.
this is a flavor of cinema I wanna see come back. And I don't even mean as "20 years later nostalgia cravings"; I've been missing this energy since about 2008 or so when I realized it was dipped out. my favorite of this flavor is Bowfinger. terrific breezy sunbaked comedy where the morals don't fully matter. this is the lens I think we should have seen Better Call Saul through, in some way. Big Trouble, Bowfinger, Intolerable Cruelty, America's Sweethearts (got Stanley Tucci in that one too, awesome), Ocean's Eleven...am I missing some? these movies accepted the chaos of corruption and knew they were playing with fire for fun. but we all knew it was pretend. Bowfinger? Stalk a guy and sell a movie about him. we'll sort it out later. Big Trouble? yeah sure let's break the cigar smoker's finger. Intolerable Cruelty? sure I sued this guy out of house and home, but now we're business partners! America's Sweethearts? we're here to advertise a movie we haven't seen. let's get this couple to fight and then leak it to TMZ! all these movies had moments of love and heart throughout. but too many things have fallen into the Better Call Saul trap of trying to PROVE THAT THEY DON'T CONDONE WRONGDOING, as they force the pseudo-moral gaze of social media talking points into projects as an illusion of depth and dimension. we gotta get back to Big Trouble ps: Arrested Development often had this energy too
Back when I was a kid, I loved reading Dave Barry's column in the newspaper when I was reading my sunday funnies. He had a really cute one about Halloween funsize snickers that he bought for Trick'r'Treaters trying to make him eat them himself instead. He hid from them in bathroom but they crawled under the door, tied him up with dental floss and threatened to squirt toothpaste in his eye if he didn't eat them. EDIT: I just realized that story was probably 30 years old... EDIT 2: Speaking of DJ Qualls, if you haven't already, you should watch The New Guy. in a big fat, "do yourself a warm and fuzzy favor" kind of way. It's hilarious, huge cast (including some from this movie) and it's got a sweet message.

I liked this movie a lot.
I saw it in theaters, but pretty much only because my mother was friends with Dave Barry. Great underrated movie though, and an excellent video.

Was that a goat
I'm a Gator and I watched this video.
Agree with everything say :)
Ben and Zooey are millenials, bub. Garofalo, Lee and Knoxville are gen x.
