Summary: The Little Film That Could
Review: This alternately sweet and profane film shows fewer signs of aging than many of the other time-locked releases of the era, thanks to writer/director David Beaird's theatrical background. Sadly, the controversy surrounding the producer's reporting of box office grosses had a direct impact on how well the film ultimately performed. A number of reviewers mention the film's soundtrack. If you can figure out how to get in touch with me (make me an Amazon friend), I can steer you in the right direction.

Summary: For the 80's Fan
Review: This is a classic 80's comedy, although not as well known as most releases of the era... it surely is well worth the viewing. Beware of the girly bugs... a chickflick at heart, this one is worthly of more than just a chuckle.

Summary: A FEEL-GOOD MOVIE, WHETHER YOU WANT TO OR NOT..
Review: THIS IS THE TYPE OF MOVIE YOU WATCH REGARDLESS OF MOOD. IT'S JUST A GREAT FLICK! THE DESERT SCENE IS PRICELESS. A LOT OF DIFFERENT SCENARIOS WITH HILARIOUS OUTCOMES. IT IS A KEEPER! I HAVE LOVED THIS MOVIE SINCE THE LATE 80'S AND HAVE WORN IT OUT AND REPLACED IT!

Summary: A great '80s movie for all you thirty-something folk
Review: This movie is the epitamy of the great goofy '80s gendre. Boy and girl meet, hate each other, and fall in love. And even though it really is a girl flick there's enough T & A to keep your boyfriend interested. Deborah Foreman is definitely the star. She brings a personal touch to this flick that no other '80s actress could hope to touch (with a 10-foot pole). If you liked Valley Girl, you'll love this more. A must have for all collectors.

Summary: Oh, to be 25 and seeing this for the first time
Review: This movie was one of the nice surprises I had when I first started renting movies in the late 80's. I just recently watched my bootleg copy I made from a neighborhood video store copy(pre-Blockbuster...they were ALL little neighborhood stores) and had an immediate lovely flashback to those days. I also noted that the music seems to be Michael Nyman, or Nyman-ish, which, in his similarity to Philip Glass, made the movie all that much more charming. I can't speak for the DVD but the VHS version, although weak in places, is still charming in the low-key, New Wave way that now seems so naive. Wasn't it great to NOT have celphones and PCs and the internet? Not to mention that New Wave was still NEW. *sigh* Goes well with the much-more-cool "Something Wild". Or even a nice match with "Repo Man".

Summary: One of the worst ever
Review: Who's idea was it to combine the talents of the world's two worst actors, Sam Jones and Deborah Foreman? Foreman breaks off into silly accents and facial expressions at the drop of a dime, and Sam Jones was his usual non-emotive self. Terrible storyline, and somehow suckered Penn and Teller to take part. Not even worth a star. Absolutely no continuity whatsoever. Should get a minus rating.

Summary: a comedy classic.
