Viewing Notes

I love dark comedies and ‘80s movies so I don’t know why I hadn’t seen this before. Loved the production design work, especially the reunion scene and the intro of Liotta’s character. This is one of those “everything spirals out of control” movies that I love and carries the anti-yuppie lifestyle vibe of so many of those types of movies made in the ‘80s. Really liked this one a lot!
