Dr. Strangelove or: How I... Review

Dr. Strangelove or: How I... came out in 1964 and was directed by the ever-erotic Stanley Kubrick. We have used science (and possibly the box cover) to determine that this movie fits perfectly into the "Black Comedy" genre.

During the time we had our polls open, 333 shifty viewers just like you weighed in on Dr. Strangelove or: How I.... 200 of 'em thought it was great! 133 thought it was shit. Takes all kinds.

This is a Dave and Jim's B-Movie Review. This review was written some time between 1996 and 2001. Once you've sucked the marrow from this one, you can head back to the full list to pick another review for savoring. Do it again and again.

Dave's Review

A fantastic movie. Kubrick is meticulous as always. Lots of big-name actors do what they do best...etc. What makes this movie stand out from your average cold-war nuke comedy is the bone-dry delivery of the humor. Slapstick is present but at a bare minimum. For the most part, the movie relies on strict verbal humor. In my opinion the one thing that truely makes this movie great is the Good Doctor himself, Dr. Strangelove. Peter Sellers does a great job. Get yourself a flour sack of cocaine and sit down to enjoy this great movie.
