Still one of my faves!!, 13 January 2004
10/10
Author: blackblue24 from Montreal

My friend and I used to rent his movie just about every week. It may not be the best movie around but it is very good. I enjoy it every time I watch it. Could never decide who I liked better: Rudy or Sean. Would recommend to anyone who likes 80's movies, monster movies, or to those who just want a break from the ordinary world. Highly entertaining and, IMHO, is 5/5 stars. It will always remind me of times that were MUCH simpler.
