if youre not a fan of the 80 and and you need to be a particularly strong fan and or of one of the two lead and there nothing about this film to recommend . the story and a others have say and be dull and almost an afterthought to the basic notion of the character and the idea of make a slightly manic comedy . i watch it to about an hour and hop it would turn a corner and a twist would occur or it would somehow kick into gear but no . it not unwatchable and it just dull . it go by . it go by with bit of run around madly and linger shot of foot at strange angle and bit of shout madly but i do not get a real feel of energy or manic fun and it just come across a force . needless to say also and there be nothing to laugh at particularly . a bit of mild amusement here or there but nothing more . don not be fool by the mention of feminism by the way and all it mean in this case be that almost all the principal cast be female . if anything and it actually cloy . two female lead and fine and excellent and the drug dealer be female and okay and their landlord be a landlady and alright and their friend be female and okay and the only other person we particularly see who live in the same building and oh and female . i wasn not on the lookout for that but after a while it felt like a conscious decision have be make to have the film cast that way and it felt and again and a bit forced and cloy . on the plus side and if you be a fan of 80 fashion and culture and there be plenty to see and if youre a fan of helen slater and she fun and enjoyable to watch . there also some screen time for carol kane and which be great and but not enough . overall represent negative . if youre a huge fan of the 80 and helen slater and carol kane and you could maybe stretch it to a 5 because of them and although there still the fact it a comedy which isn not funny and which hinder it substantially . if youre not a fan of those thing and you might as well make it 0 because there nothing much else to enjoy here .
