    One of my favorite terrible movies! 4% is pretty harsh, though… I thought John Leguizamo was genuinely funny in many parts, even if the movie was painfully juvenile and hasn’t necessarily aged well… 😬

      My brother and I certainly thought it was hilarious at the time. I believe 4% is pretty harsh too. Is it because it’s mocking all these racial stereotypes? John Leguizamo’s energy in this movie is so manic.

        Could be. I don’t want to read the reviews and cloud my memories 🤣. I never felt like he was punching down, the stereotypes were so broad, and Pest was an idiot for the most part. I could be rationalizing from my naive teenage memories though…

    It’s always fun to look back at now established actors and see the movies they started in vs the movies they’re in now.

    Never would’ve thought Van Wilder would be in superhero movies.
