Review of High Strung (1992) by David T — 28 Feb 2010
An early steve oedekerk/jim carrey collaboration. the plot revolves around thane furrows (oedekerk) who complains about everything wrong in his life, whether it be his job as a children's book writer, to the metalhead who lives in the apartment above him (played by warrant frontman jani lane), to his many hatreds of life outside of his apartment, usually ending his rants with "I'd rather be dead!" as he continues throughout the movie with his many complaints, he starts to see a strange man whenever he closes his eyes (played by jim carrey), who just so happens to be the devil.
this movie is almost a one man show, with steve oedekerk taking up almost the entire hour and a half by himself, but it actually works very well because his rants are hilarious. highlights include his rant about happy the clam and the scene where he is chatting with the devil.
recommended for fans of oedekerk and carrey.
