While not a cinematic masterpiece, this movie gave me a lot of laughs. I think my favourite part was when Lane (John Cusack) talks himself out of hanging himself, only to have his mother accidentally knock him off the garage steps as she's vacuuming. It's all the funnier because you can't hear his choking over the vacuum. You just watch him flailing around for a few minutes. It actually reminded me of the opening scene in Harold and Maude.
There was also a nod to that famous shot in The Graduate, as Lane walks in on his little brother's trashy-women party. :-) And, get this, there's a whole Web site dedicated to that beautiful '67 Camaro. Ah, the wonders of the Internet!
O.K., I just took a break from blogging to read a bit of that guy's site, and gotta say, the privacy advocate in me just cringes. Go read how he managed to track down and buy the very Camaro used in the movie. It's amazing what you can find with some forms and private investigation services. *shudder*
