WARNING: THE FOLLOWING REVIEW IS
MIKE: Do you have any idea how much I hate 70's nostalgia?
IKE: About as much as ya hate movies starring any member of the Baldwin =
family.
M: Exactly! Okay, sure, you had 10 good years of promiscuous sex and =
rampant drug use, but, as self appointed entertainment guru, esq. I must =
ask: What the hell came from it? The Pet Rock!
I: Punk music.
M: Disco.
I: Fleetwood Mac.
M: K.C. and the Sunshine Band.
I: "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest!"
M: "The Fish That Saved Pittsburgh!"
I: Saturday Night Live!
PAUSE
M: The Love Boat!
I: All right, ya got me on that one. Besides, what're ya bitchin' =
about, the show took place in the present!
M: But it was written in the 70's and it show's! My God, some of the =
jokes made about women in this thing could have come out of the mouth of =
Don Knotts in "Three's Company."
I: You were laughing!
M: Entirely due to the talented cast. If "Seinfeld" taught us anything =
it's that a good cast can make even the worst material funny.
I: I gotta admit, I had trouble findin' someone to like in Act 1. The =
main guy is a violent compulsive liar who blackmail's his best friend =
into becoming a transvestite and calls his girlfriend moon pie. His =
girlfriend has an affair with his best friend because she's bored. His =
best friend has an affair with his girlfriend because it's in the =
script. The IRS guy reminded me too much of my Uncle Ron and the main =
guy's mother is a couple a Fruit Loops short of a full bowl. But then =
by Act 2 it didn't matter cause I realized they were all bi-polar =
anyways.
M: That's true. One moment everyone's mad at everyone, the next =
they're at the end of a Brady Bunch episode.
I: I'm wonderin' why nobody asked about Leslie's hairy boobs.
M: The same reason no one asked why Leslie's voice sounded like Grover =
on helium.
I: And why there was a solar eclipse between Acts which take place =
seconds apart. But you were laughin'!
M: Yes, I was. And I scrubbed myself bloody with an S.O.S. pad when I =
got home.
I: Oh, big deal! You do that every time you hear a Jewel song. So, ta =
sum up, ya liked it, despite the fact that the script needs a polish by =
Ed Wood and ya walked away feelin' like ya just watched "Somethin' About =
Amelia."
PAUSE
M: That about says it all, yes.
I: Good, then let's get outta here. "BJ and the Bear" is on tonight =
and I think I left my lava lamp on.
M: Shpoopie.
I: Aw, damn you, limey!
Coming this week-end: The second issue of the Mike and Ike newsletter. =
If you haven't already, send an e-mail to rdoughnuts at yahoo.com to find =
out their opinions on the Oscars, George Lucas' lowest moment (And it's =
not the creation of Jar Jar Binks), and the economy and community =
theatre.
