Review of Peggy Sue Got Married (1986) by Allen G — 19 Feb 2013

Truly hilarious at times- Cage's performance is so out there that other members of the cast actually petitioned to have him removed from the film. Thankfully, they failed because he got this one just right- his character is very entertaining but convincing too. Even though you can't believe you are doing it- you really are connecting with him. You connect with everyone in this one really and that's very important with a teen comedy drama like this. The story is pretty typical but it's done well- it doesn't feel like a rip-off, it's feels like it's the one being ripped-off and that's understandable because it's good!

It's not perfect of course but there's so much there to make up for it. (personally, "you mean my wang" alone makes up for any flaw in this film).

I was caught off-guard with this one's charm and how engrossed I was with it. Sadly, most other films going for a similar thing fail miserably. At least this one got it right.
