Jacob B @JB3.0 Mar 30 This movie is NOT the Howard the Duck-level disaster its negative reviews and devastating box office performance would suggest. Maybe George Lucas wanting to have this story told since the '70s raised expectations too high? I'll admit Radioland Murders isn't a perfect film. It isn't as consistently hilarious as it could be, it doesn't always know how to utilise its ensemble cast and the screwball shenanigans start a bit too early, barely giving us a chance to care about these characters. And yet, I still had fun watching the film, which gained more steam later on when our main character catches on regarding the killer's M.O. and becomes a better detective than the Chicago cop. The film also has great art direction, good jokes and even some fun stuntwork although the climax had something that reeked of a Deus Ex Machina to me. Overall, a film that's flawed in places but still think is an underrated film that'll make you yearn for the days when Lucasfilm did things other than Star Wars.

Not to mention that you get the late Anita Morris and Mary Stuart Masterson as eye candy. Even if Brian Benben’s Roger is annoying and melodramatic this is still a somewhat decent film.

Lots of sight gags and quick witted dialogue. A great ensemble cast and great sets and effects. You’ll miss a lot the first time you see it if you’re not playing attention.

See more Alec B @Alec97 02/27/2024 Maybe its too zany but I still don't get why this movie was so hated? The fact that they could maintain the consistently heightened energy is impressive.
