If you're mad because this film is less political than most of Spike Lee's work 1) any Black life and especially joy on screen is political 2) you're missing out on a very charming look at childhood and nostalgia. Why fight it!? Makes me want to check out more of Joie Lee's work.

Glad to know this was based on someone's life going in or William Hurt's moron behaviour would have driven me insane. Marlee Matlin earns the hell out of her Oscar and it's also an interesting snapshot of deaf culture's history, even if it wobbles on some accounts.

Holds up surprisingly well since the effects are meant to look cartoonish. Cameron Diaz is indeed Sssssmokin' and I deserve decades of people saying I have a girls name.

I mean... Supa movie, the very best. Just like they say
