Aug 12, 2023 · Sam Dunkley’s review published on Letterboxd: A unique take on the teen comedy/ coming of age story. O.C and Stiggs is more of a socio-politcal satire than a snapshot of rebellious youth and feels fresh for it.
May 17, 2015 · O.C. And Stiggs is a truly bizarre entry in Robert Altman’s canon, a teen comedy that fucks with every expectation you have of the genre. Perhaps in line with that, it isn’t particularly funny either. It is however, full of biting, very angry satire. Zany hi-jinks never go out of fashion
- The title characters are loosely based on the odious, chaos-making, highly obnoxious escapades of a couple of fictitious Arizona teenagers who regularly showed up in the pages of National Lampoon magazine.
- It’s not really a satire of teen comedies, though that was what the studio wanted. “Altman argues that audiences and National Lampoon wanted Robert Altman’s ‘Porky’s’ and were flummoxed when he delivered a satire of teen schlock instead,” Nathan Rabin notes, writing about the film in the A.V.

- The movie traffics in misogyny and taunting homophobia. Writing for Reverse Shot, Matt Connolly points out that we, the viewer, “are expected to square our alignment with O.C.

OC & STIGGS. Did you know that Robert Altman made a barely-released John Hughes-style teen misbehavior comedy in 1983? He did, and it’s as weird as you can imagine. With Dennis Hopper, Ray Walston, Cynthia Nixon, and, of course, King Sunny Adé & His African Beats.
