    Tfw when an alien you barely know hits you up to hang more often than your own son.

    This movie wasn't good when I first saw it soon after it was released, and it certainly hasn't aged well, but I keep watching it. I swear there's something endearing about it overall, and the final act is uniquely deranged, if you can make it that far.

    ★★

    This is one of those little movies that defies all genres by quirk-addled accident. Not funny enough to be a comedy, not dramatic enough to be a drama, not wacky or gross enough to be whatever it is that John Waters makes. Johnny Suede would be just a cute throwaway movie if not for the immense talent taking shape right before your eyes in Brad Pitt and Catherine Keener. Even so, it's barely worth a watch to see them, albino Nick Cave, and a brief glimpse of Sam Jackson, because there's not much else to find.

    ★★★½

    In Jesse Eisenberg's major film debut, his blend of awkwardness, precociousness, and perfect comic timing are already almost fully developed. This is a memorable little story with a lot of sharp dialogue mostly delivered by Campbell Scott as his character misguidedly attempts to shepherd Eisenberg's into manhood to distract himself from his own continuing failure to grow up.
