Is Spielbergs Christmas Turkey better received on this special edition DVD release?
As for the critical arrows thrown in its direction, these are fair game.
If people arent screaming at each other one minute, theyre blowing things up the next.
And yet, I can equally see why the film has achieved cult status.
There is much to admire about1941, not least Dan Aykroyds marvellous performance as Sgt Frank Tree.
John Belushi deserves mention for obvious reasons.
I would urge you to buy the soundtrack, in fact.
Indeed, taken as individual scenes on their own, the film has much to admire.
Is confusing the name Hollis Wood with Hollywood really that funny?
Is it excusable that the film barely raises more than a few laughs?
In hindsight, that would have helped the movie.
