On the way home I decided to check the local DVD shop. Finding nothing but the usual titles,I was surprised to get to the final rack and find a rare family flick co-starring Robert Englund,which led to me going on a paper round.
The plot:
Sent to a small town to calm down,14 year old Gunther Wheeler meets Allison Robbins.Wanting to take her on a date,Wheeler finds out that some rough kids in town are selling concert tickets. Told he has to pay upfront,Wheeler decides to grab some quick cash by becoming a newspaper boy.
View on the film:
Stealing every scene he is in, Robert Englund gives a barking performance as Crazy Man Cooper,who howls like he is charging onto the battlefield. Whilst being a bit too wide-eyed, Kyle Howard gives an easy-going aw-shucks performance as Gunther Wheeler,with Howard really rolling Wheeler into the Slap-Stick Comedy deliveries. Keeping Denice K. Rice's screenplay moving swiftly,director Blair Treu & cinematographer Brian Sullivan dive into 90's Family movie antics with bright goo and vegetables being thrown on the front page.
