So, 'Starlings' from '88 is this quirky little comedy that really captures the essence of reinvention. You’ve got Gary Wilson, a guy who loses it all but then somehow becomes a butler, which is just an odd twist that works. The pacing has this nice, almost whimsical flow, with moments that feel both light-hearted and sincere. The humor is situational, often involving the dynamics between class and identity, which makes it pretty relatable. The performances are solid, particularly the lead, who carries the charm of someone trying to fit into a world that seems a bit foreign. It’s not flashy—no heavy practical effects or anything—but there’s a certain warmth that makes it stand out in the genre. Definitely a hidden gem worth a watch if you’re into offbeat comedies.
