4/06: Why did Curly Sue have to be made?

What an awful film. I hate everything about it, and not for one second did I laugh throughout. Unsurprisingly, Curly Sue failed at the box office and was roundly panned by critics.

James Belushi and Kelly McGillis are okay. But it's Alisan Porter whom I hate the most. She'll never appear in another major film for the rest of her career. Thank goodness. The excessive amount of sugar she pours out will have been fatal.

The story sucks and is implausible. No hotshot female lawyer will risk her life by taking care of two "derelicts." Even if there was a car accident, the prudent thing to do would be checking out the damage, getting the man treated at the hospital to prevent further brain injury, and reporting it to the police. Instead, she ends up being taken advantage by them which forces her to give up everything that she worked for.

All in all, I want to be like Jimi Hendrix on my knees while setting Curly Sue on fire.
