I love this movie. It was a great early film for John Cusack and Demi Moore. Bobcat Goldthwait is hilarious as the Stork twin Egg…

I love John Cusack's early movies. Demi Moore is just as charming in this one, too. Totally worth seeing. I love '80s movies…

Very funny. It's not a work of inspired genius like Holland's previous film, Better off Dead, but it's very entertaining…
