Viewing Notes
Another re-see for me.
I’ve actually seen this movie several times in my life and it’s always a surprise to me at just how weird and unusual it is. It was the first time Jen had seen it and it’s a movie that always gets a reaction. I’m surprised that it’s not talked about when Scorsese is mentioned more often.
Basic story is that a clerk has a perfect storm of wacky shit happen to him in one night. He gets mistaken for a robber, encounters the robbers (Cheech and Chong!), and even deals with death, lost keys and more. Not doing any justice for the money but it’s one I always like everytime I sit down to watch it.
