This movie has everything: rampant commercialism, grieving women with daddy issues, robots, Stonehenge, Irish stereotypes, public intoxication, casual sexism, and the wanton disregard for personal responsibility!  The only thing it doesn't have is an unstoppable killing machine named Michael Myers!

Happy, happy Halloween. Silver Shamrock!
