- Rating: ★★★☆☆
Plot:
- Disturbingly black-haired gang leader Doug Van Housen and his band of evil Jersey thugs take umbrage at being locked in a room with Arnold Mosk for eight solid hours. Not that I blame them - Arnold is one of those obnoxious kids who quotes Shakespeare, sasses the school psychologist and is mean to his drunken mother. Root for Doug.
Notes:
- Gary as the good-hearted jock. Gotta love any football player that wears that much eyeliner.
- Gorgeous Amanda Peet, stuck in a dead-end girlfriend role.
- Shelly letting Doug stroke her pet bunny.
- The Misfits continuing to play while Baldy gets bludgeoned to death.
- For those who find A Clockwork Orange too preachy and moralistic.
Cast:
- Neil Patrick Harris as Arnold
- Matthew Lillard as Doug
- Gabriel Olds as Gary
- Amanda Peet as Debbie
- Lori Heuring as Shelly
- Misfits as themselves
- Huckleberry Fox as Baldy
