Synopsis:

Review:

Not bad at all. This movie is certainly not Oscar material by any stretch of the imagination, but it is a good, light movie that you can simply enjoy without having to think. Despite being a lighthearted movie, there are some serious subplots woven in, such as the relationship between a member of the gang (Tony Danza) and one of the car-hops at the drive-in (Michelle Pfeiffer). This movie may be a rip-off of American Grafitti, but I still enjoyed it.

My Rating:
7/10
