21/01/2012 Ruthless People (1986)

Hadn't seen this since not long after it came out.  Expected it to be embarrassing rubbish  (I liked some right old shit as a teenager) but it's still enjoyable (in that uniquely 80's comedy way).  The opening credits are horribly dated but otherwise the film holds up pretty well.  Some quotable lines, and doesn't drag on for two and a half fucking hours for no reason like many contemporary films.  Although Judge Reinhold looks 12, the cast are average looking grown ups rather than pissy skinny model-like high school kids.  A nostalia tinged 8/10.
