I finally saw a movie from a great director with an amazing cast. Just to test your filmbuffness I am going to list some of the actors in no particular order and hopefully you will try to guess it.
Scarlett Johansson
Bruce Willis
John Ritter
Kathy Bates
Dan Aykroyd
Julia Louis-Dreyfus
Alan Arkin
Abe Vigoda
Rosalind Chao
Jason Alexander
Kelly McGillis
Jon Lovitz
Reba McEntire
The giveaway name, for anyone who has seen the movie at least, is Elijah Wood.
The director was Rob Reiner. Spinal Tap, Princess Bride, Stand By Me, Misery, A Few Good Men ...
The answer is:
North (1994). Did you get it?
Maybe you've never heard of the movie or you might have been thrown off by Scarlett Johansson (her feature film debut). I was quite proud to have recognized her as a kid without even knowing she was in it.
I remember looking forward to seeing the North back in 1994 but the wave a negative reactions from the critics and public kept me away for thirty year. On a whim I decided to give it a go without any positive expectations.
This isn't a good movie or a bad movie. It is silly. It has embarrassing parts (Alaska in particular). On the other hand I laughed aloud at several jokes. Expectations matter a lot. The film simply cannot deliver what you want from Rob Reiner or the cast. It is aggressively mediocre.
North tries to deliver some sort of message but it fails to do so. The ending was the worst thing about the film. The voice-over is also off-putting at times.
