We read the book in school, then studied everything about it. I also saw this as a play. It has more depth after studying it in school. Otherwise, I don't think I would have rated it as high.

A good spoof. Some very funny parts.
46
Vice Versa (1988,  PG)

This is so lighthearted and innocent. Their son is so funny. Prepare to get some songs stuck in your head. It's retro fun.

Don't let the cover fool you. This movie is a fun 80's movie about John Cusack traveling across the country with a girl who hates him. Very fun!
59
Joy of Sex (National Lampoon's The Joy of Sex) (1984,  R)
Joy of Sex (National Lampoon's The Joy of Sex)

Alright for an 80's movie, but you can't take it seriously.
71
The Incredible Shrinking Woman (1981,  PG)
The Incredible Shrinking Woman
This was so funny to watch now. So unrealistic. Like, why did they expect her to still cook and clean when she was so tiny? I didn't like how Lily Tomlin played so many characters, and they all looked alike.
72
Once Bitten (1985,  PG-13)
Once Bitten
Cheesy 80's movie. Jim Carrey's acting was not over the top.

Eric Roberts looks so different. This was interesting to watch now because body types have changed a lot. Oh, the days before plastic surgery...

    I'd give anything to go back to the '80s. The movies were so much fun. Today it seems too many take themselves way too seriously. Scary movies aren't the same either. Movies like Hostel and Saw have replaced the funner 80's style movies imo.
