Review of I'll Be Home for Christmas (1998) by Joe D — 05 Jan 2016

I was a 90s kid but nowadays I find most 90s movies and T.V. shows unappealing. This movie is an exception. This epic quote from it sums up both the movie and 90s/00s/10s culture: "I'm a millennial type of guy.

I dig world music. I think freons should be banned. I'm into yoga and macrobiotic food." That's actually the first time I ever heard the word millennial. There is 90s pop culture oozing from every scene.

The net (with a Yahooligans style graphic interface), answering machines, Aqua, overalls, beepers, Amber, backwards hats, leather jackets, Dave Matthews Band tickets, a photo of President Bill Clinton, payphones (even on a bus), Blink 182, travel agents, cordless phones, Cherry Poppin' Daddies, watches, and frosted tips.

Best of all, Allie is all about feminism, poetry, girl power, and slugging pervs. Aforementioned perv assumes she listens to Jewel, Sarah McLachlan, Fiona Apple, and Natalie Merchant, which makes me love her even more.

We need more intelligent and free spirited women like them in the world.
