It's not that I went into DC Cab expecting something Shakesperian. Hell, I didn't get a damn thing from this movie except for a severe case of wanting to destroy that horrid VHS tape so that no one else could watch it. I understand that, for some, it might have been a goofy comedy. I just don't see it. And how dare you compare this to HTTM? Now that flick was a goofy comedy. This, as Nunziata said in a certain CHUD podcast I listen to from time to time, was a glob of sick cum.
These strange things happen all the time

I don't know anyone who took D.C. Cab that seriously. Yes it wasn't Shakespeare, but I don't remember where it ever promised to be either.
It was a crazy movie with crazy comedians and comediennes (as well as Mr. T who was crazy in his own right).
Anyone that doesn't have a straight-laced sense of humor should like that movie. Hot Tub Time Machine sort of reminds me of it (though the writing in Hot Tub Time Machine is even better).

DC CAB is the beep bane of my existence, that filmalmost made me lose my love of film.
This is the American Dream in action

I have to rent it. I have not seen that film in a long time!
