    I enjoyed watching this movie and the music is great. Marisa Tomei is young in this movie and pretty as always. If your a fan of the movies in that decade, I think you would like this movie. Here's some interesting information: Jimmy Baio who is in this movie, is Scott Baio's cou...( read more)sin (Chachi, off Happy Days). Before you watch this movie, remember the movie is from 1986 and the clothes, music, that kind of storyline is what was in, in the 1980's. I personally love the 1980's movies and I think whenever watching movies from past decades, you should always remember before you make fun of the clothes, the hair, or even the way the person talks, it is apart of the particular decade. Just think in 40 years, most teenagers will be making fun of the popular movies like Titanic and The Hangover. So, please before you rate this moive on here, make sure you remember what I wrote here.

    One of my least favorite movies of all time. The story is horrible just like the actors. Daniel Penn looks like a guy with down syndrome. The only part I found interesting when I was a teen is the part where Marissa Tomei takes her top off for a split second to go skinny dipping....( read more) The soundtrack is attrocious with only two good songs that are only featured at the end during credits-Julian Lennon doing Stand By Me and Peter Frampton doing a great song written for the movie called Distant Drums.

    Final Answer: Avoid like the plaque!

    This movie could only be interesting to someone who is conducting an anthropological study of 1980s pop culture. Bad hair, bad soundtrack, bad lipstick, gratuitous shots of women's legs, bad over-acting, ludicrously tight pants, bad plot. It's just very bad.
