Did you know
- TriviaCorey Haim's first day of shooting was with Peter Weller, and he went up to compliment the older actor on his performance. Weller collared Haim, throwing him up against a wall to warn him not to speak to him after a take, and it took three assistants to separate them. Haim later admitted that he was terrified by the experience, but Weller apparently was method acting, unaware by anybody else.
Featured review
Coke Hos in Suburbia on the next Geraldo
I didn't give this movie a high score because watching it makes me want to kill myself. It's the story of Jake, a young man who's mom starts dating a stranger who introduces his mom to cocaine and things start to go awry...The shocking thing is his mom is played by (GASP) Terri Garr. Sweet, kind Terri Garr starts dealing cocaine out of their home and doesn't have the good sense to kick this loser out when he starts beating her kids. Her other son (Corey Haim) is getting into fights at school which is kinda hard to believe since he's like 3'9. The drug dealer boyfriend is portrayed by Peter (yes, Robocop himself) Weller and he doesn't change facial expressions, once. It's a sad movie that you should watch only if you follow it up with Anchorman so you don't commit suicide. Enjoy.
