This movie is so fun. Fraser does the out-of -this-world portrayal so well.

Brendan Fraser is peak himbo and Sean Astin grounds it in as much reality as he can. Pauly Shore ain’t as annoying as he usually is.

A nostalgic love letter filled with humor, toxic masculinity, style and pop culture; it's simply brilliant when it's as stupid as it can be.
