Heartbeeps (Allan Arkush, 1981)
Rating: 4.3
This could have been a cute family film, or even a decent satire, instead it is just a debacle. The casting was good, as Andy Kaufman, Bernadette Peters, and Randy Quaid were all perfect. Visually, the film had a nice look to it, and most notably the make-up work was great and was even nominated for an Oscar. Unfortunately, the writing was atrocious and the film has basically been forgotten. In some regards it may be considered a prototype for the more popular Short Circuit films in 1986 and 1988.
