Review of The 'Burbs (1989) by Senor C — 13 Jan 2011
The 'Burbs is a product of a good director & cast being wasted in a bad script. Well I should say bad just not very good. There's little laughs to be found to classify this as a comedy & no thrills to classify this as a horror/mystery.
It just sorta hangs in limbo. The cast is given nothing especially Carrie Fisher & Corey Feldman. It's quite a waste. Now Im not a fan of Tom Hanks but this is as forgettable as Volunteers. Poor Bruce Dern not given much more to do then step in dog shit & climb in a garbage truck.
@ least I got a cameo by Dick Miller even though he wasn't given anything to do except show up. & that what this movie feels like; everyone just sorta showed up & they're as bland as the 'burbs themselves.
