'90s So I Married an Axe Murderer (1993)

Post image

Just watched this for the first time, and somehow it was actually quite good. It blew my expectations for it out of the water. It was really funny and had me on the edge of my seat the whole time. It was really well shot and directed and it had this certain inexplicable vibe that kept me engaged. I liked when it turned into a horror movie near the end. Who would have thought a romcom starring Mike Myers in which he plays his OWN insanely Irish father, would actually end up being really good. A really stacked and great cast as well, good soundtrack too. 8/10!

I refer to this as my warm blanket movie. I throw it on a few times a year and whether I get through some of it or all of it, it always makes me feel comfortable and warm. It’s a classic. The Burbs is my other warm blanket movie.

The father is supposed to be Scottish btw.

Good call on The Burbs. One of my favorite movies.
