My Teacher Recommended This Film


So it was my Junior year of high school, and I had an awesome geometry teacher. He talked about eighties films all the time, and talked about John Cusack a lot (maybe he had a man crush on him). He told everyone in my class to watch Better Off Dead (Which I had seen years ago in middle school) and Tapeheads, and even did the Chicken and Waffles rap. Most people in my class rolled their eyes and ignored him, but I was fascinated, and tried desperately to find this mysterious film. It took me many months, but I eventually found this film at a Hollywood Video closing sale, and saw it on a rainy day. It was ninety minutes of pure bliss, and E enjoyed it greatly. It was the best thing to come out of 2009's boring geometry class, and I will remember that teacher for showing me the way to great cinema.

Well, ok, it wasn't THAT amazing, but it's still very entertaining.
