This is my co-favorite movie, along with Terry Gilliam's Brazil. Is that weird? One so dark and British and the other so cheerfully grubby and American... Anyway... Absolutely brilliant from start to finish. My mom saw it for the first time last week and she can't stop raving about it. The musical performances and time-capsule Chicago street scenes blew her away. I was astonished that she'd never seen it before, but I guess she thought it was just another Saturday Night Live movie so gave it a pass. Don't let this movie go unseen, even if it did spawn that largely regrettable group of films.
