But you certainly dont have to be a 1980's era high schooler to enjoy this flick. Filmed on a small budget in Minnesota for only $800k, it has a fairly polished, quality feel. Sure, it's a clumsy plot, but that's not why we're here, right? Good acting from the leads, REAL car chases (no digital fakery) and some clever comic bits all help to make this movie a hidden gem. And you get authentic, Midwest 80's... so be sure to pause on the "mall hair" at the high school gym rally, when hairspray ruled the world!

Its obvious that Hollywood took notice of Stephen Sommers directing chops for this little known picture (thank goodness, because it had catastrophic distribution issues in the US) Apparently these issues were not an issue overseas, where it took in $7 million. After this, he was cherry picked by the big studios and has had quite the career. So grab some popcorn, fire up your big screen, and enjoy a classic time travelin' romp back to 1989.

He just rambled on about random stuff.

"Chicken wings" was an okay bit.... but then back to hum-drum.

I wonder if he is done trying to be funny... Almost as if he is now a "thinker", and trying to come off as a slightly humorous philosopher?

The crowd certainly seemed to laugh more than they would if they were watching at home, probably because they were out for a big night on the town and excited to be there. You can see a lot of people recording the show on their cell phones, and you think ..."man they are wasting a lot of space on their phone!" We watched on Netflix, and found it rather difficult to make it all the way to the end.

Fresh and tasty... but so is the #3 combo at Wendys... Kinda cool to put on in the background while you get your chores done. Certainly a treat for the VR set and the tweens, but this gum runs out of flavor quickly for the rest of us.
