Review title: WORSE THAN BAD
Product review: It's unfortunate that I can't give this film "less than 1" star. I remember seeing it in 1987 when it came out and was furious that I shelled out money to see this mess. I thought that a viewing on video 12 years later might help me appreciate it but it did'nt. The problems begin with a warped, unrealistic look at "life in the fast lane" 80's style and continue with insipid performances by Andrew McCarthy and (especially) Jami Gertz (what happened to her anyway ???). Most of the publicity surrounded Robert Downey Jr's performance, which for a time was considered brilliant. Now we know he was merely playing himself, which makes his character Julian all the more pathetic. Only James Spader, as Rip (and where did that name come from??)is suitably effective..although he looks far too young for the part.
