Review by pd Review by jamie! Review by abigail. I maintain that the scene with the guy in the bear costume is just something random and nobody in the film had any idea what it was supposed to mean. A tuxedo-clad man with a furry fetish has the best night of his life rudely interrupted by a marital dispute. This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth. Saw this one in the theater last night, great experience. Underrated how funny this movie is. For half the movie, Nicholson is in full bozo mode TM LexG , having more fun as an actor than anyone is ever allowed to in a Kubrick film.
This movie is about a guy who takes a job after they tell him "the last guy who did this killed his family" and then he tells himself "I'm not going to kill my family" over and over again until they annoy him like once or twice and he's like "yeah, I'm thinking I'm killing my family.
