I'm not sure what I'm more embarrassed to admit: that I've seen this movie or that I don't miss it any time it airs. Okay, it's probably the second one.
There are some good performances struggling to break out. Peter Gallagher is always pretty solid and I've always been a fan of Miguel Ferrer. Rya Kihlstedt is certainly sexy and better than what's she's given to work with.
The fact that this is an adaptation is no excuse for its weaknesses, furthermore, none of the changes enhanced the story, anyway.
On the plus side, this is one of the funniest damn movies about a dystopian future that has ever been released. Normally, I don't bother with reviews, but I wanted to share the joy with this one. I can't help but laugh out loud when the pinhead delta runs head-first into Bernard's window projector thingamajig. I wonder if that counts as a spoiler.
