pete meteor . i see this refer to a authentic and a gem . i catch this movie on a saturday afternoon . i kinda wish that i do not . apparently this be note a be mike myers first dramatic role . unfortunately it have to be this movie . the first thing you will notice that pete meteor suffers from be a complete lack of plot . or rather and a bunch of little subplots that aren not really connect and do not go anywhere . young orphan mickey life with his young brother and sister with their grandmother . a meteorite land in their garden and be eventually collect by a scientist name hugh . despite the title of the movie and mickey be the one who lay claim to the meteor and and the storyline actually have little to do with the meteor in any shape or form . from here on out and several other character and subplots be introduce . but like i say before and they do not really go anywhere . thing go from cute family movie to dark thriller pretty fast and when pete ( mike myers ) be introduce and start to play a role . micky blame him for the death of his parent and though be never really tell what happen or why . hugh have romance problem because his girlfriend can not get past his cosmic fascination . and pete drug relate past start to catch up with him and temporarily draw his own girlfriend and the rest of the cast into the mix when shady character start try to kill him . this would seem to be the main plot and until you realize it doesn not even have a role until halfway through the film and make everything else feel like pointless filler . hugh girl problem and mickey bad behavior and the meteor . what on earth do they have to do with this . not much . so the plot be disjoint and half of it be pointless . but a good cast of character can save it and right . keyword represent good . the majority of character be terribly unlikable people and most of which you would like to see die horribly . at least and i know i would . despite the title and mickey seem to be the main character and which be a really bad move once you see him in action . he be one of the bad little kid i have see in a movie and with an extremely bad attitude problem . he borrow a car and harasses and talk trash to hugh ( an adult ) for take the meteor and actually attempt burn the man house down when he doesn not get his way and and even try to stab pete with a knife . you would think a kid like this be on his way to the jail house . unfortunately and one of the bad thing about this movie be that mickey never get what come to him . i be not sure at what point youre suppose to be sympathize with his character and because he always a nasty little brat . he the ringleader for his brother and sister and so they predictably end up take and backseat and just follow whatever he do . amazingly and theyre push back so far that i can not even remember their name . they might as well not even be there . their grandmother be pretty much a borderline alcoholic . she tend to be just a nasty to hugh a mickey and and like to push people out of her house and give them evil glare when she not chug down liquor bottle and drink herself silly . pretty ridiculous when you take into account that she suppose to be take care of three child . her issue with alcohol be never really addressed and though she do collapse from time to time in the movie . hugh be one of the few likable character in the movie and but that only because he the punching bag for the majority of character and take their mess without give it back . the kid treat him nastily but he always come back and try to teach them and do nice thing with them . he get a taxi driver girlfriend who seem to take every aspect of his life a a scientist a a personal offense and attempt to leave him several time in the movie when he go off into his cosmic lingo or do something to prove that he isn not exactly on the same wavelength a the rest of the character ( thankfully ) . then there mike myers a pete . pete and despite have the only solid purpose and plot in the movie and be extremely underused and doesn not play any kind of role until the second half . it unfortunate that myers get stick in such a position for a dramatic role . even when pete be get screen time and half of it be just myers run through dark alley and hide in small corner . and even though he be the only real point to this movie and when his plot line bring the movie to a close and it a strange and unfulfilling conclusion that have all the character laugh on a good note with a quick and strange explanation behind the title of the movie and make you wonder if they be just perform in the movie you be just watch . the only thing worth see in pete meteor be mike myers role a pete and and that if you can wade through this disjointed mess long enough without lash out at another human be due to the extremely unlikable character and nonexistent plot line . no sir and i do not like this one at all .
