"I remember seeing it at the time and thinking it was fantastically irritating. It was the post punk period and I didn't really like that woozy American liberal culture of the time. Then I re-watched it a few years later and really enjoyed it. It's so amoral and horrible and of course there's the kind of post Vietnam thing of all the people who are against the ROTC and the militaristic guys. The end scene where they totally fuck up the parade is just amazing. It's very entertaining and now it looks really great. That American liberalism looks like an endangered species these days. Something like Animal House or Smokey and the Bandit couldn't be made now – smoking joints and breaking the law – America's gone a lot more right wing since then."

Bear in mind when I say this movie is very good, I mean for what it is, not that I compare it in greatness to Casablanca or Citizen Kane. It's funny, rude, dirty, and dark, and some nights, that's just what we need. Aubrey Plaza is a weirdo and we love her. Anna Kendrick has more talent than should be allowed by law. She sings, dances, acts, tweets. What can't she do? Adam Devine is another weirdo. We loved his character on Modern Family and also his standup sets. Zak Ephron, though I don't consider myself a huge fan of him, am always impressed with his talent (and amazing good looks.) So, the movie has a good cast and a good premise, sit back and let these weirdos go.
