 Rating:  - They are a modern stone-age family ... or is it modern age?Simply put, the Applegates are your typical nuclear family who wants nothing more than to nuke the human race.

Rating:  - Send up of SuburbanismAlthough Michael Lehman and Denise di Novi's follow up to their brilliant satire Heathers is not as wicked, it is an equally bizarre slant on middle class American life. |
