COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Plot? submitted by markwells on June 16, 2017, 6:09pm I guess there is a plot in there somewhere. This movie seemed much better the first time I saw it many years ago.
Grade: C

A Buddy Comedy with an Expiration Date submitted by shira.pilarski on July 18, 2020, 5:11pm Randy Quaid is a young naval cadet has been arrested for stealing a very small amount of money and is being sentenced to 8 years. Jack Nicholson and Otis Young are enlisted to escort him from Virginia to the prison in Maine, and since they feel his sentence is unreasonably harsh, they decide to give him a fun send-off. This includes bar hopping, brothels, regional food tourism, and taking up with chanting Buddhists. There is a rugged sensuality to the movie - viewers can almost taste the sausage sandwiches and cough up all the cigar smoke. All of the rampant masculinity with the grooming of a younger man also feels very homoerotic.
