I like this movie. Coppola's 80s films are generally underrated. They aren't as good as his 70s output (what is?), but most of them are very worthwhile. Messy, definitely, but they've got style for days.

Yeah, agreed. I think they're judged a lot more harshly when compared to his '70s work (I mean, we're talking about some of the greatest American films ever made, so that there's a pretty high benchmark), but if any other director had Peggy Sue Got Married, Rumble Fish, The Outsiders, Gardens of Stone, Tucker: The Man and His Dream and, yes, even visual marvels/noble failures like The Cotton Club and One From The Heart under their belt over the course of a decade, most would agree that's not too shabby.
