Backing this seems to be an interesting story that could be told, but wasn’t, amid all the bad characterization and schlock.

Dated pimp-vehicle for Danny Thomas’ family & friends. I kept hoping an abominable stop-action snowman would intercede to wreak havoc.

If the gender of each character was reversed, this movie would have been panned, and there would have been more than a couple articles decrying it as sexist.

Excellent.

Condescending display of vanity from Wes Anderson/Woody Allen wannabe. Even includes a middle finger to the audience as it refers to its own pretentiousness near the end of the film.

A reanimation of the Romero original as simple motorized instinct. Suspect that anything considered humorous or humanizing in the film is due to Scott Frank’s involvement as emergency screenwriter.

It took 23 years and one re-watch to adjust my opinion of this from “decent whodunit” to “atrociously acted silliness”.

Classic dystopic satire.

A “times is tough” tale told about as well as Hollywood could be expected to tell it. Realistic in its partially plotless portrayal – people lose jobs and then things go badly.

Awful script, awful accents, awful acting. Filmed in a picturesque valley somewhere (+5%).
