Viewing Notes
Not a great movie but definitely an entertaining movie thx to the OTT dialogue and fun performances. A lot of it feels like a stage play with those breathy line delivers emphasizing every syllable. Perkins is the easy MVP. Had this on my Kanopy watchlist forever but I’m glad my first viewing was in the theater and a Alamo at that.
Haven’t seen that Lady Lee foods logo since I was probably a teenager. That was a memory bomb.

Oh - I agree it really had a “stage play” feel - especially the scenes in the Paradise Hotel room. Amazing that this was a first viewing for our group.
