3.0 out of 5 stars A disappointment given all the talent involved, January 21, 2012

This review is from: Crackers (Universal Vault Series) (DVD)

I stumbled across a description of this film a few years back and thought "How did I miss this one?!? Louis Malle, Donald Sutherland, Sean Penn, Jack Warden, & Wallace Shawn in San Francisco and I've never seen it (or even heard of it)?!??!" Well, turns out there's a good reason why: it's supposed to be a funny, breezy film, but it's actually very dull and joyless. Moreover, the soundtrack is wretched 80s synth sounds punctuated by a cacophonous Michael McDonald tune that plays over the credits. It's also a boring, pointless film and a challenge to watch so much talent return so little; almost as if no one tried very hard. Easily the worst performance I've seen for Donald Sutherland. On the other hand, Wallace Shawn and Sean Penn are quite good. However, if you're curious about this based upon who was involved...don't bother.

I haven't seen this movie since I was little. I have been telling my husband about this movie since we met, but could never remember the title. Superb classic!!!!
