Incredibly sincere in the best way. It really makes you feel like you're on the shoes of these 4 boys, where the world is so much larger than your small town you've never been out of. We got both the childhood wonder of seeing wild animals, telling stories around the campire and asking the actually important questions such as "Is Goofy a dog?"; while also dealing with growing up in going through grief, the eventual disagreements with your group of…

Fictitious Anacin Commercial 1967
I decided to check some actual Anacin commercials alongside this, and from what I gleaned from comments here and in Youtube it's meant to make fun of how these always wanted to portray the remedy as the one thing that cures everything.

The contrast of the before and after is intentionally made very obvious, and the actor appears in later Lynch things, so I guess I have one thing to look forward to there.

At times disturbing (opening and ending especially), but mostly technically really impressive for its time, particularly the mouth moment. I can definitely appreciate the effort, but I don't think it really clicked with me (not shocking considering I'm not much into the genre to begin with) so 3 stars it is.
