Review of O.C. and Stiggs (1987) by Greg R — 23 Sep 2014
Robert Altman directs this film about two teens with a strange sense of humor and lifestyle, who spend a good chunk of their time trying to torment a family known as the Schwabs. The movie is puzzling, both in it's own story, and why Altman would decide to adapt a movie out of two recurring characters from the National Lampoon magazine.
His style and sense of humor doesn't gel with the style and sense of humor of National Lampoon...and the whole thing is kind of a mess. Altman is best when he just does his own thing, but he had this idea of trying to adapt things and force them into his own style.
..and it often ended up with misfires like this.
