Hot Pursuit Reviews
Light fun for Cusack fans
While not in the same league as his other movies from the era (Better Off Dead, One Crazy Summer, and The Sure Thing), this one is still a fun and entertaining movie.
Cusack was great as the offbeat, loser teen trying to get the classy girl - and that's what he's up to here.
It's silly, fun, and still makes me laugh.
ARRRR! SPAGHETTI-O'S!
Nice little diversion with Cusack playing a prep-school fish out of Carribean paradise water. When problems at school delay him from joining his girlfriend and her folks on their vacation getaway, he's determined to find any way to catch up with them, even take up with a questionable post-modern pirate of a ship's captain played by Loggia (who delivers the classic line that headlines this review). The movie attempts to be all it can be, with subplots involving a family of crooks, a kidnapping, and a search for paternal acceptance, but it's mostly held afloat by Cusack and Loggia's repartee. This is one of Cusack's last pure-breed 80's comedys before he broke out into his dramedy films of the 90's, and his loud "I DON'T BELIEVE THIS IS HAPPENING TO ME!" schtick wears a little thin by the conclusion, but all parties involved were smart enough to keep the film short, so it's not painfully obvious. An absolute must for all Cusack fans, and decent fun for everyone else.
