Loved it. 4/5 stars. Would recommend, and would watch again. And yet . . . what on earth is this harmless, meandering TV sitcom pilot doing on the AFI's list of 100 movies? In what universe is it significant, artistic, or anything other than serviceable?
even though it seems that the TV show was not yet a gleam in its producer's eye at the time this film was released, it works much better as a pilot than as a stand alone theatrical release. I feel as though I just binge watched a season of a clever, occasionally poignant Netflix series--not a movie. Sadly, I hear that season two has much less of the lewd, gruesome, anarchic humor that made this such a delight: as though Apocalypse Now and Animal House had a child born without the ability to feel shame.
