| Cheesy 90's movie marketing at it's best. |
It pains me to say it but this is by far my least favorite Ray Bradbury short-story. Five Mexican friends from the poor working-class decide to pitch in $10 each in order to buy a fancy white suit for them to all share over the course of an evening. Let the comedic hijinks begin. They believe this magical suit will raise their social status and attract beautiful women. The story is a screwball comedy filled with cornball humor that completely misses the mark. It relies on racial stereotypes and the gimmick becomes tiresome very quickly.
I was even shocked to discover that this story was adapted into a feature-length movie in the 90's starring a young Edward James Olmos and Joe Mantegna! It is bound to be atrocious but a small part of me is somewhat curious to seek it out.
