Thank you for going easy on Congo. I was just the right age (11 years old) to be entralled by this movie when I saw it in theaters and I watched it about a dozen times on video. I felt similarly about Batman Forever, that summer's biggest hit. (What can I say? I really enjoyed campy stuff.) I even went and read the book! I have no intention of ever seeing this again, but I look back on it with fondness. Thank you also for highlighting Delroy Lindo's uproarious line, which I still occasionally think about and causes me to laugh. There's also the part with Grant Heslov's character having a conversation with an African man that's hilariously (but purposefully) awkward.

I was dreading this one because I was so bummed on my initial view, and was so pleasantly surprised by it. It's not great, but it's fun.
