6.2 is an offensive score!

Just curious, but did everybody on these message boards originally see this on network TV in the mid-nineties? I sense a strong nostalgia factor, I'm guessing among kids with parents who refused to pay for cable.
Anyway, it still holds up. Not a masterpiece mind you, but as an adult you can appreciate more of the jokes. I doubt a kid would get fully appreciate the stupidity of a Sweet Bird of Youth musical or Bel Air beauticians faking European accents. The whole shtick about a perfectionist plastic surgeon becoming an undertaker because he knows spray-paint is quicker and easier than trying to fix living people is hilarious.

I think it's offensive as well. Should be 1/10. It's full of old people humor where you see the "jokes" coming a mile away. What's worse is that the plot follows that same pattern. Terrible movie.

I agree with you. I really love this movie, and was thinking about watching it again. I became curious to see how other people rated it and was surprised by the low score as well.

It also has a worse score on rotten tomatoes. I love this film! And it is so nostalgic.

I enjoy black comedy and the movie, but the fact is none of the three main characters is likeable or sympathetic, even the wronged Helen.

I guess it offends you when people disagree with you
This is a godawful film. Bad even by Zemeckis's really low standards.

I know, it' s such a great black comedy! I give it at the very least a 7, I love the story, settings, dialogues, costumes
