Rough around the edges, low-budget slasher set on a college campus about a
serial killer that's stalking coeds during a lame radio station sponsored
scavenger hunt...while wearing a bear costume. That might sound silly, but
it's not too bad. Better than that shitty poster above would lead you to
believe. The kills come at a brisk enough pace, there's a bunch of different
characters and their behavior is so wacky that it's hard not to be
entertained. Sadly though there's zero nudity or overly gruesome
kills. Most of the violence is suggested or done completely off screen.
Another bizarre touch (besides the bear suit) is the addition of Hal Holbrook
who has pretty much zero interaction with the cast. From what I've read,
all of his scenes were shot in one day and then just edited into the
movie! Example: in the campus cafeteria some students are informed by the
waitress that Hal paid for their food. They look up and say thanks.
Cut to to a shot of Hal nodding his head. Hahaha.
Your average movie watcher would probably hate GIRLS NITE OUT (it currently sits
at 3.5/10 on IMBb), but i thought it had a certain charm to it and I wouldn't be
against watching it again. One unique thing I did notice was this film
didn't have a Final Girl. You don't see that very often.

DUDE, WHERE'S MY CAR? (2000)
Slacker/stoner comedy about a pair of slacker stoners who wake up after a wild
night of partying to find their kitchen stocked with chocolate pudding and their
car missing. Now these two stoners (Ashton Kutcher and Stifler) have to
find their car because not only is it their car, but their girlfriends
anniversary presents are inside. During their quest they have all kinds of
wacky adventures and meet a wild cast of bizarre characters including a
transsexual stripper, a cult of bubble wrap wearing alien worshipers, hot
chicks, nerds, Kristy Swanson, Andy Dick, a shit-talking Chinese drive-thru
speaker box, Fabio, a weed smoking dog, peacocks, jocks, Zoltan, aliens, more
aliens, a Super Hot Giant Alien and many others.
For being over a decade old DUDE, WHERE'S MY CAR? is surprisingly well dated. The humor is still funny and the story is so simple that it'll probably hold up for another hundred years. Ashton and Stifler make a good comedy team. My biggest complaint is since the film is PG-13 there's barely any weed smoking and zero nudity! What kind of stoner movie only has a dog as it only weed smoker?! Even without any nudity or smoke, DWMC is definitely worth watching. I've seen it dozens of times and I still laugh. And theeennnn?
