Busted

Busted is a 1997 comedic crime movie that brought together iconic Hollywood stars Corey Feldman, Corey Haim, Dominick Brascia, and Mariana Morgan. Directed by Corey Feldman himself, the film showcases the fun and mystery-filled adventures of some offbeat characters in a small-town police station.

In this film, Feldman and Haim, stars who are remembered for their notable performances during the 1980s in films like "Stand By Me", "The Lost Boys", and "License to Drive", bring forward a distinctive blend of comedy and mystery. These actors were often paired together in what was called a "Two Coreys" phenomenon in the late 80s and early 90s. Busted was the last film where they shared screen time together, making it a special addition to their illustrious career.

Set in the quaint but quirky town of Amityville, the movie revolves around the local police station and its unconventional team of officers. The narrative starts with David (played by Corey Feldman), who works as a police deputy. A rising crime wave is about to transform the town, but the police station is on the brink of shutting down due to a severe lack of funds. David, in an urgent effort to save the institution, comes up with a wild and hilarious scheme - to run a 'love motel', renting out rooms by the hour.

Corey Haim portrays the character of "Clifford," a funny and misdirected mechanic. His character adds a refreshing layer of humor to the storyline, providing several memorable moments. The two Coreys showcase excellent on-screen presence, making their eccentric characters relatable and entertaining.

Dominick Brascia gives a fine performance as the lazy and comic Officer Willard, bringing laughter with his quirky demeanor and unique style of handling his police duties. On the other hand, Mariana Morgan, who plays the role of waitress Tracy, injects a sense of romance into the movie.

The film has a light-hearted tone, side-splitting dialogue and delivers an array of amusing situations to capture audience interest. Without a doubt, the comic situations arising from the 'love motel' form the cornerstone of this film, resulting in a series of humorous incidents that take absurdity to a new level.

Besides the comedy, there are shades of mystery and suspense as well. While the police officers juggle their new motel-running duties, they also look into the mysterious happenings in Amityville. The team's quest to solve a sequence of crimes adds a distinct layer of interest and suspense to the film, making it a fun, crime-solving adventure.

Busted cleverly combines aspects of crime, comedy, and mystery, promising an entertaining watch. The narrative is filled with unexpected twists, mind-boggling mysteries, and a generous dose of laughter. Not to mention, it is a nostalgic reunion for fans of the "Two Coreys", Feldman and Haim, who have proven their talent in various film genres over the years.

However, the film's strength lies not just within its intriguing storyline, but also within its cast's stellar performances. The chemistry and comic timing between the cast members lend a certain charm to the film, making it a memorable addition to the comedy-crime genre. Dominick Brascia and Mariana Morgan do an excellent job complementing the comedic duo's performances, contributing significantly to the film's overall appeal.

The movie, with its energetic performances and innovative plot, takes the audience on a comedic roller coaster ride, instilling a sense of thrill with its engaging narrative and comic relief. Busted remains a lighthearted take on crime-solving, with an extra humorous twist. A blend of laughs, crime-solving, and endless entertainment, it is a movie that serves as a reminder of the fantastic range and versatility brought to us by the boisterously entertaining 'two Coreys'.
