Crispin Glover is genius. Single handedly saved Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland mess.

I’m watching this for the first time and it definitely does stand the test of time. I grew up in the 80s.

I didn't think it was very good. Shocking, sure, we find that out almost immediately. I am not sure Glover is acting in this film more than he is just playing himself. Either way, I didn't really care much by the end of the film. I know it's not nice to pick on kid actors but the one who played Keanu Reeves' younger brother was just not very good at all. But none of the performances are memorable and I wasn't interested in any of the characters. 5/10
