You'll Pray for Thursday!
In 1 hour 25 minutes, 35 people will lose their lives in one of America's incredible tragedies
Nomination Year: 2011
SYNOPSIS:
Did you ever see Throw Momma From the Train? Remember Owen's (Danny
DeVito's character) proposed writing-class story about The Guy in the Hat
who kills the Other Guy in the Hat? Billy Crystal (rightly) criticizes
Owen's explanation of the first Guy's motive: "Because he was
crazy." This is pretty much the film adaptation of that plot.
Over the course of the movie, a mostly-crazy guy (Harry) slowly devolves into a totally-batshit-crazy guy who, for no specific reason I can divine, ends up taking out a coffee shop/diner while getting shot himself. The End.
Oh, and there's no need to "Pray for Thursday" as suggested in the film's lurid tagline: The violent coffee shop massacre is so drawn-out it'll likely be Thursday before it's over.

No Shoes, No Ammo, No Service
Harry has finally snapped. He walks into a diner loaded for bear and just
stands there, surveying the normal people at their meals and drinking in the
hustle and bustle of the patrons and passing waitresses.
He cocks the machine gun. Nothing. As if merely clearing his throat a
little louder, he cocks the gun again (don't ask me how -- Whoops!), and
finally, the greeter screams and the bullets fly. And fly. And fly. And
fly. And fly. And... Well, you get the picture. At one point, a cook
goes face-down on some grilling eggs.
Acting Appropriately Stupid
"Well, If You're Gonna Burn the Place Down... You're Hired!"
The manager of the body shop that he got canned from before for his crazy
behavior listens to Harry's plea, which includes the implication that if
he's not rehired, he might burn the place down. "Ah, sure, okay. I hate to
see a man beg." Sure enough, he regrets it.
"Let's Up The Rating To 'R'"
Well, the Body IS a Temple...
Ever have that dream where you're naked in church? This guy dreams while
he's awake!
Worst Acting
Pamela Baker as Dr. Johnson (AKA "Dr. Stilted")
Harry has a strange, wooden conversation with the lady doctor (Pamela Baker).
Little person whose screen debut was as the hero in
The Terror of Tiny Town; was a Munchkin
in The Wizard of Oz; and whose last
role was the voice of Teddy in Bloody
Wednesday.
