River's Edge (1986)
1/10
Best Comedy I've Seen In YEARS!!!!

Warning: Spoilers
I caught this gem of a knee-slapper with a few friends of mine a couple days ago and it was hilarious. The acting so was so terrible that it made an otherwise unwatchable film nearly watchable. Sounds weird, I know, but Crispin Glover's character was so over the top that every time he was on screen we couldn't help just laugh, not to mention to acting wizardry of Keanu. What a tag team of acting supremacy.

I got on to read some of the reviews on IMDb to see if other people noticed what we all noticed, and I was shocked at how many people called this realistic and well acted. What movie were people watching?! And realistic... where did you grow up, because I am never going there. If little 12 year-old's nun-chucking people to steal guns and cars and kill their brother, is realistic then I must live in Mayberry. I'm not even going to go into the blow-up doll.

I would have given this movie a 3/4 of a star, but 1 is the lowest you can give. If you are like me and at times love to watch ridiculously bad films, check this one out. Dennis Hopper is the sole "bright spot" and it was only because he played his usual crazy, deviant character.
