So my husband also loves this movie. I try every year to like it, but I simply cannot. I wonder if it’s one of those that you find and love as a kid or else it’s hard to get into, haha.
I watched this again a few years ago, and Sinbad has some of the worst delivery of all time, even among people who flexed into an “acting” career. That’s to go among with Arnie’s “unique” delivery of predictable dialogues and bad puns.
Phil Hartman was hilarious, or course.
It’s a terrible movie.
You have to buy into the premise of its fantastical, half real/half cartoon reality. If you’re watching it through a serious lens or even as a comedy that takes place in a real world Minneapolis, you’ll never be able to appreciate it.
Idk man, I’ve seen some pretty dope cartoons. I’ve tried looking at it from a million different angles over the years (as I said, husbando loves it, so I do really try and enjoy it as well), and it just doesn’t do it for me. But it’s cool, not everything has to be for everyone, and sometimes you see something at the right time in your life and it just elevates to become something super special to you. I guess I just didn’t have that experience, ah well
