I decided to watch this movie because only there's actress Phoebe Cates in it... I rented it on Amazon Prime Video and watched it completely, I'm not going to lie I became somewhat depressed when I realized that the green guy have been inspired by me but anyway I would take more from Phoebe Cates than from someone else, I don't care at all about her being involved in that movie and in fact as someone who suffered of "Mad Love" about someone myself I find this such a tragedy for her especially at the end the problems with her parents I became all emotional... It's true that I was a little brat like that WHEN I WAS 11 YEARS OLD AND SICK OF MAD LOVE AFTER 1986, I PREFER BART SIMSPON WHO IS A MORE APPROPRIATE DEPICTION... It's kind of stupid to present a sane grown-up adult acting like that trisomic and furthermore I was acting like an excited moron on purpose because I was revolted against my family and the bullying I was enduring at school, I was exhausted at the time, you could ask my excellent friend Wendy how I really was when a child before 1986 she could give the right time... Overall for what it is on it's own merit it's not a bad quality movie at all, Phoebe is excellent in it she prove she don't need to be in a bikini to be interesting, it have an interesting story and beside anybody who think 2 seconds would see that the green guy is a caricature and a spoof nobody would be like that in real life... Personally I wasn't bored at all and the story is interesting, technically the acting the directing is good quality, IT'S A GOOD QUALITY MOVIE...
