Video Views Extra: New Review of an Older Movie

Blessed with the right script and cast, Seidelman crafts the perfect tone – a grounded whimsy that allows the fairy tale elements to take flight.

Helped to define not only the filmography of Andy Sidaris, but the 80s exploitation subgenre that became popular in drive-ins and video stores.

For all its skill at mimicry, it has nothing to say and no real story to tell. It’s as ephemeral as it is unpleasant – a rancid little curiosity whose impressions are easily flushed.

There is enough humor in the mix to elevate "Beverly Hills Cop" above the level of a staple 80s action film.

Cliched dramatic stories aside, the movie has a gritty charm and overall likeability that makes it worth revisiting

It hurts to search for logic in the wreckage of a screenplay that feels like it was cut into tiny pieces and glued back together in some random order.

This was a bad movie when it was released. It is a bad movie today. And it will continue to be a bad movie long after this planet ceases to exist.
