Summertime

Ed burns movies are not about action they are about the characters. Go watch she's the one.

It was passable and despite other reviewers the soundtrack was quintessential early 80's pop, however there were a few glaring errors. The movie takes place in 1982, Duran Duran hungry like the wolf didn't exist yet nor did the phrase hook up or home slice to name a few. We should have heard the cars and reo speed wagon and foreigner and blondie and the pretenders Mr burns perhaps has forgotten 1982 but the viewers haven't. It felt more like an 80's themed party from 2001

The actors did miss the mark a little with connecting with the era but overall was enjoyable. Burns is a storyteller if you're looking for sex and action and explosions this isnt for you. If you want to be entertained and forget for 90 min it's a good choice.

David here I been a movie buff for over fifty years and I felt the movie was weak 😮 There was some good music and cars in it For it being there last summer together you wanted them to do more. It felt very low budget to me. It is no American Graffiti that's for sure!

I am sure they worked hard on it, but it did not come across that way in the movie. Fun to see for the cars and some of the music. Better luck next time. See you at the movies 🍿 It was funny to see the wall phone move when a person was making a call. 😂 The song about Winky was strange, The words were good, but the singing was not the best.

Overall this movie was not terrible. It was definitely cheesy and bad acting at times but it has a fun aesthetic to it. However 80s Long Island or New Jersey has been done better in so many more shows and movies. If you like this aesthetic but want better plot lines and romance go watch the following: Red Oaks (tv series on prime), Staten Island Summer (movie), and also Hot Summer Nights (movie). All of these do what this movie tried to do and do it way better.

Seen many last summer before college flicks this ranks in the middle somewhere .

Lots of relationship drama and beautiful young people drinking and having sex the last summer before they head off to college . Nothing new here but refreshing escape from marvel bs .

Miss the sun? Then check out indie writer / director king Edward Burns' 2018 80s-based autobiopic "Summer Days Summer Nights". One Long Beach summer sensitive teen Pico Alexander works for his single dad (Burns) at the beach while navigating heartache, new love (Lindsey Morgan), plans for the future, etc... as do others like Caitlin Stasey, Rita Volk (great), Carly Brooke & Anthony Ramos. While far too light & melodramatic to match the likes of "Do The Right Thing", "The Tender Bar", "The Way Way Back" or "The Fabelmans", it still has nostalgic sun, sea, sand, sex, beers, blue skies, cool cars, hot-bods in swim-suits, and a fine (if obvious) soundtrack.
