Savage Steve Holland follows up his cult teen hit Better Off Dead with more madcap absurdity. Forget the plot, which takes frustrated cartoon prodigy John Cusack to Nantucket to woo aspiring singer-songwriter Demi Moore and take on the town's weasely real estate developer and his bullying son in a sailing regatta. For Savage Steve, the "revenge of the misfits" story is merely an excuse to unleash his arsenal of gags. Think of it as an Airplane for the teen set, punctuated by wacky twists (hyperactive Bobcat Goldthwait rampaging in a Godzilla suit), demented animated interludes, and the world's ugliest dog. The cartoonish punchlines don't always deliver, but the rat-a-tat delivery keeps them coming so fast it doesn't matter, and Cusack holds it all together with his winning presence. And, refreshingly, this is one PG rating that actually means no foul language or sex. --Sean Axmaker

Good one for the collection.......2007-06-10

One of my all time favorites. A good, goffy movie that you can sit down and laugh to. If you like John Cusack, this is one of his best younger rolls.

Classic John Cusak stuff!.......2007-06-09

This movie is hilarious! It's almost as good as Better Off Dead and Hot Pursuit. Even after watching it several times for the last 20 years, I still can't stop laughing! I love it!

A Classic that has lost it's flair in modern times.......2007-05-26

I loved this movie and several others that John Cusack did in the 80s and wanted to add it to my library. While it was still cute and fun, it just seems more painful now with how hard they tried to slip the funny parts in. I will probably keep it for my library, but not sure I would ever replace it if it were lost. It's funny to look at the styles at the time the movie was made and it was good to see an early movie of Demi Moore's as well.

one crazy movie.......2007-03-31

This was the best movie ever i loved the part with Demi Moore and John Cusack

You don't understand: she's gonna lose the house!.......2006-05-17

It must have been a close call whether they could make more money trying to sell this on DVD or getting the cast to pay them not to. My advice: watch the movie, so you know how bad it is, then watch it again with the commentary by Curtis Armstrong, Bobcat Goldthwait (in his normal voice, thank God!) and Savage Steve Holland. They know it's bad, and they love it. You'll really enjoy it that second time, with what amounts to a running laugh track and better jokes than are in the movie. It's a riot.
