This is a niche Generation X masterpiece cult film that is not for everyone.
Many people (typically non-Gen X) won't get it nor appreciate the black humor, 80's nostalgia, and overall entertainment value because quite simply - they are not the target market.
John Cusack & everyone involved in this project did a phenomenal job of presenting a slice of witty Gen X cinema. Scenes, songs, wry humor, and a particularly moving/poignant staring scene between John Cusack and a baby (were the baby's expressive looks CGI doctored? very uncanny/freaky!)
Despite coming out in the 90's, this film deserves to be up there with Fast Times and other 80's period epitomes.
