Review

The always-eccentric Glover goes for the throat in this uneven remake of the ’70s cult film. Willard is stuck in a crappy job with an emasculating boss (the perfectly cast Ermey) which he needs in order to take care of his dominating, ailing mother. This joyless existence is redeemed somewhat by the discovery of hundreds of trainable rats in his basement, which Willard plans to use to exact revenge and get his way. A mostly dour film, Willard is still a must for Glover fans; who else could bring such passion to the command "Chew!" or elicit both chills and laughter from the desperate retort, "Start over?! I'm almost done!" when someone suggests he start a new life? The story is mildly interesting in fits and starts, and really doesn't improve much on the original (though the rats are cooler: Ben — who's roughly the size of a cat — is a sight to behold). Worth checking out is the Glover-directed video for his cover of Michael Jackson's "Ben"; it's a riot, and strikes the perfect tone that the movie often misses.
