Mark Palermo reviews.... CURLY SUE!!

[nutmegalomaniac]

The last entry in my overdue project of watching every movie John Hughes directed in order, CURLY SUE is also the only one I hadn't seen before. Warmer and less crass than its reputed to be, the film is mainly hindered by its attempts at overdone slapstick, cashing-in on the previous year's Hughes-penned monster HOME ALONE. But there's a 1930s

This is right up there with my decision to watch all the Dean Martin/Jerry Lewis films, in chronological order.

Unfortunately, many of them aren't currently available (like Sailor Beware, which includes a brief role for a pre-stardom James Dean), so I'm stalled out at My Friend Irma, My Friend Irma Goes West and At War With The Army.

But it's only a matter of time.

That's why going through the Hughes directed movies is easier: there's only 8 of them. Although it seems wrong that PRETTY IN PINK and SOME KIND OF WONDERFUL aren't part of that canon.
