For me,'92-'93 were the best years of Drew's career.
In her tumultuous and infamously scandalous adolescence, Mrs. Barrymore was already a very funny and nice actress, and impressively attractive. So,she had several leading rolesand sometimes only supporting partsin a series of very humble movies from the beginnings of the '90s. Some of these movies I enjoyed very much. They were made in a period that coincided with the rather brief revival of the American B movies in the early '90srevival and flourishing that benefited from the screen abilities of persons like Drew, Tweed, E. Roberts, etc.. For a brief period, the B cinema in America seemed to set itself up for something. Needless to say that Drew looked very wella fleshy girl with big jugs and more to show. Extremely sexy and arousing in a unpretentious way. On the other hand, it was easily, immediately noticeable that Drew was, as a young actress, very competent. She was always more than a body on display. The films she made offered her charms fully, used her judiciously, and this was a fine thing.
Some of her early films (well, early is relative if we speak about Drew, being given her extremely precocious screen debut) established her as a sex starlet. Those are, in fact, the Drew movies I have liked the most. On the other hand, these were roles of bad girls. But in other movies she was required to make nicer roles, more goodnatured, if one can use such a term.
Drew brought a note of simplicity, charm, sincerity and naturalness that is delightful. I mean, of course, that roles that needed such a thing. Her part in Guncrazy (1992) needed these nice qualities.
I guess it was not a single trace of style or of art in those early Drew films from the '90sbut this is not the point. They were but patchwork, yet . It was plenty of Drewand this is something I could fully appreciate. Her screen presence was one of the most enjoyable. She also had some kind of natural ability to display in those roles of nippy, nimble bad girls and nymphs.
In Guncrazy (1992) we find some nodding acquaintances from the early '90s B cinema: people like Ironside, here as a noisome cop.
Guncrazy (1992) is interesting because it seems made by its very protagonists.
Drew's adolescent body and physical allure offered a spicy contrast between her homely plenteous shapes and some kind of paprika eroticism she was so good at displaying. This gave the piddling movies a certain pleasant picturesqueness.
