    I happened to stumble upon this movie again, late last night. Midnight Madness is another 80s movie that I adore.
    It stars Michael J. Fox, in his movie debut, as Scott Larson. It's the story of an all night long scavenger hunt between five teams of college students. All the ste...( read more)reotypical movie groups are represented; the nerds, the meat heads, the sorority sisters, the cheaters, and the good guys everyone loves.
    In true 80s fashion, the acting could use some improvement, and there is the slight smell of cheese in the air. If you haven't seen it at least once, you should.
    It's a fun, good time film.

    I don't care about whatever sentimental value this may hold, this movie blows. I don't go rating Homeward Bound 5 stars because it blew my 9-year-old mind (and happened to have Michael J. Fox in it).

    Fun movie, kinda silly, but very enjoyable. Plus Michael J. Fox is cute and young in this movie, so you've gotta check him out.

    Lucille: Harold, how long are you gonna keep driving around without knowing where we're going?
    Harold: Barf, have you finished unscrambling those letters yet?
    Barf: [finishes unscrambling letters] Fagabeefe? Haha. Fagabeefe. Hey, Melio - fagabeefe.
    Harold: [shouts] *Shut up...( read more)*!

    Leon: See you at the finish line... wherever that may be.

    Melio: Ha! It's easy!
    Harold: Well, what is it?
    Melio: It's like a lookout off a cliff or something.
    Melio: It means Cherry Point.
    Harold: How'd you get that?
    Melio: Well, there's one of a chair... that's a chair. One of an 'E'... that's an 'E'. One of a pin... that's a point. Chair-E-Point: Cherry Point.
    Harold: What about the ball?
    [Melio knocks the ball off the table]
    Harold: [shouts] You idiot!

    Bratty kid: [looking through telescope at a girl getting undressed in window] If I'm lucky, I may get a view of Venus' two moons.
    Adam: [pointing at the sky in the other direction] Hey, Einstein - isn't Venus over there?

    Melio: [loudly, to wake up Lucille] No, Harold, there *aren't* any cookies left!

    A very simple but fun movie that the whole family can enjoy. Severeal recognizable faces, but the acting at times was way over thw top. The interaction between the members of the blue team was hilarious and at times I could not stop laughing at their antics.
