Binder's made some really fine movies and some curiously weak ones; my opinion is that this one falls firmly in the latter group.

How dense is Binder? He uses an acoustic version of Our Lips Are Sealed to underscore a tender moment Jack recalls from his childhood. Because nothing says 1976 quite like an iconic song from 1981.
