LeftSideCut (3778 KP) rated Tammy and the T-Rex (1994) in Movies
Mar 19, 2021
It genuinely made me laugh, has some truly inspired gory moments, has a cast who are either hamming it up to the max, or playing things completely straight, either way, all of it is absolutely over the top and just sort of works.
Some of the special effects are sooooo awful, but that honestly just adds to the experience. The animatronic prop T-Rex is pretty great. The T-Rex uses a pay phone at one point. The plot is so absurd to the point that I wasn't even questioning any of it. Isaac from Children of the Corn has his head bitten off before his headless body runs away into a stack of boxes.
Will definitely be one of my comfort movies from now on.

Mar 21, 2021 (Updated Mar 21, 2021)
You can almost sense the modern blockbuster struggling to be born here - high concept, low credibility, lots of special effects, John Williams score - but the film is let down by some wobbly production values and questionable casting choices. (The subtext is surprisingly reactionary and morally inflexible, too.) All the bits which make it most entertaining nowadays - Marjoe Gortner as an unhinged national guardsman, Richard Rowntree's motorcycle daredevil, Walter Matthau's dancing drunk - are the parts which are the most camp and ridiculous. Sort of entertaining if you enjoy this kind of bombastic studio silliness.
