One of my favorite terrible movies! 4% is pretty harsh, though… I thought John Leguizamo was genuinely funny in many parts, even if the movie was painfully juvenile and hasn’t necessarily aged well… 😬

My brother and I certainly thought it was hilarious at the time. I believe 4% is pretty harsh too. Is it because it's mocking all these racial stereotypes? John Leguizamo's energy in this movie is so manic.

Could be. I don’t want to read the reviews and cloud my memories 🤣. I never felt like he was punching down, the stereotypes were so broad, and Pest was an idiot for the most part. I could be rationalizing from my naive teenage memories though…
