5. Top 5 Things I Liked About This Movie
– John Cusack talking to the camera. Normally, this is a fatal error, but he pulls it off.
– The soundtrack. I had forgotten about Stiff Little Fingers (buy this) until I saw this movie (again) a few years ago. The Beta Band? Yeah, they are that good. Go buy this one single from iTunes.
– Jack Black. He’s on fire in this film, a complete spaz. Great character, one that I suspect is not too far off from the real Jack Black.
– Charlie. No, I don’t have any girlfriends from my past who turned out like her.
– Bruce Freakin’ Springsteen, making a cameo as himself to sing a song. Awesome.
Watch this movie once. If you like it, go buy it, because it’s the type of movie that you’ll want to see again in 8 or 10 months.
