Zemeckis-fest So unfortunately, I was not able to watch Zemeckis’ actual first full-length feature, so we are starting instead with Used Cars. This is one of the dumbest, goofiest, absurdist, silliest movies I’ve ever seen. Does it really make sense? Nah. But is it fun? You bet your sweet ass. It’s just a delight from beginning to end. The humor has a similar feeling to A Field of Honor with a bit of a dark twinge that I did not expect from Robert Zemeckis. It’s all definitely of its time, but it’s so stupid it just works.
