My one-word review of Brewster McCloud: Stoned.

In fact, Michael Murphy, one of the principal actors, introduced the movie by explaining that “there was an awful lot of this going on,” and then pinched his forefinger and thumb together in front of his puckered lips and made a sucking sound, the universal sign of doing a spliff. “That’s the prism you should view this through.”

If only I’d ever gotten stoned even once in my life, I might have been able to understand this movie. I guess that’s just not going to happen, though.
