Review of Dutch (1991) by Paul T — 31 Mar 2015

Yet another movie where the audience response seems to be drastically different from the "critic" response. I've always thought this movie was way underrated. One of my favorites from my childhood.

I queue it up every now and then when I'm feeling nostalgic but it's a movie that I still genuinely enjoy. Every scene is a classic scene in my opinion. (most notably, for me, the fireworks scene) Ed O'Neill really nailed it with his role as the working class Dutch Dooley.

Ethan Embry, too, shows his surprising acting chops at a young age. I think this was a great coming of age/enemies becoming friends story. One of John Hughes best works. A classic.
