The Contrarians207 - Pt. 2 - Illegally Yours (RT)

Our boy P-Bog took a hell of a tumble with this one. But you know what, you could say the same about Nickelodeon, and we disagreed with the Tomatometer on that one. So, is ILLEGALLY YOURS another instance of a good movie not getting a fair shake from critics and audiences? Can “Peter Bogdanovich does an 80s comedy” really be that bad of an idea? Our final verdict (and more!) is in this Real Talk segment!

Until then, let us know what you thought of Illegally Yours: Was Rob Lowe so cute he was scary? Would this movie have done better if P-Bog had just gone back to Ryan O’Neal and Barbra Streisand for the leads? Is an 80s Boganovich comedy better than an average 80s comedy even if it’s a below-average effort from the filmmaker?
