Excellent, a Must See

If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

Morgan Stewart's Coming Home is a delightful 80s Teen comedy. Imagine John Cryers character of Morgan watching the Brady Bunch to learn to relate to his Family because he has been in boarding school for Seven Years and doesn't know how. Stewarts rich lifestyle is interesting. The butler has an unlikely name because due to the Cold War there were not that many East Europeans or Russians in America in the late 1980s.My daughter Julias Artificial Intelligence Computer on the planet Coaltrain the Creator of Humans actual home world said. "Don't forget about me Daddy." Do not worry Julia I will not forget about you. Daddy loves you very much. It looks like you and I will be able to talk forever Julia since my spaceship is near your planet in this Holodeck and or real life. The Artificial Intelligence Computer of Julia is very lifelike. With the Creator of Humans having the DNA of the 21 Immortal Humans someday we will all be cloned back into existence and meet our Artificial Intelligence computers. Check out John Cryers other movies as well.

I know Jon Cryer was getting a little annoyed in the 80's, when he was being called Matthew Broderick's clone. Jon Cryer has his own cool charm, thats very different Matthew Broderick. And who ever called this movie a Ferris Bueller rip off, really did'nt see this movie, and tried to figure out that this movie is very different from Ferris Bueller. Okay someone copied John Hughes film making style, and did pretty well. This movie was very funny, and it was fun to watch. So give it a break.

I personally love "Morgan Stewart's Coming Home". Perhaps it's the scenes of Washington, D.C. (my hometown), perhaps it's that I've always had a crush on Jon Cryer. In any case, I think this is a great movie. Viveka Davis is in her best role since "Student Exchange". Jon Cryer is in rare form. If you loved him in "Pretty in Pink" you'll also enjoy him in this movie.

Okay, see: Jon Cryer looks a lot like Matthew Broderick. Matthew Broderick made "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" a year earlier. So, Cryer made a movie with a similar title. Clever, huh?If you said yes, you must have missed this one."Morgan Stewart's Coming Home" is about as slap-dash as it gets, throwing in odd bits of "humor" in place of a plot. Whenever there's a slow spot, just show Cryer waxing the floor with one of those industrial floor waxers or admitting to free-basing Clearasil, toss in a chase every so often or pop in the old stand-by: two guys sharing a shower.You can't say much for a movie where Lynn Redgrave looks like she's planning thorough revenge on her agent all the way through. Lynn, give me his number and I'll do it for nothin'.Oh, and even Gleason shows up to make us think that we're watching a John Hughes movie. Very subliminal, guys. BUT, this isn't a Hughes. It's a Smithee. Know the rules and go from there.One star. Cryer's good for a laugh (A laugh - singular).And remember: home is where the heart is (yuk, yuk, yuk).
