    A real cool movie!

    I loved this movie when I was younger. I haven't seen it in years, but would love to see it again. I was hoping it would come out on DVD. I loved Carolyn Dunn and her cool hair! And the lead guys were so hot especially Thor Bishopric. Anyone who lives for amusement parks and craves that one last day of freedom before school starts should check this movie out. I have never seen any of the actors in other movies so I don't know if anyone else knows who they are, but the acting was fairly good for such a low budget movie. I didn't like the so-called bad guys in the film, but they did add some comic relief. I also liked the final scene when they played the classic 80's hit "Let the Music Play" by Shannon.

    Great 80's fun!

    I saw this movie 13 years ago and ever since it has had very sentimental value to me.

    Apart from a quite nicely planned plot, with everything falling nicely into place, if you are a fellow 80's fanatic, this movie has got to appeal to you. The fashion throughout the movie is unmistakably 80's! Especially Debbie!

    The small romantic element is so endearing, with a little bit of suspense and quite a few funny moments throughout the movie, make this really a fun movie to watch, with the nostalgia of it all, you just have to like Jack, David, Debbie and Angie's interesting day at "Fun Park"!

    Ok, so this movie is no high-budget dreamboat, but the fun and originality of it, more than makes up for it.

    I'll admit I'm quite biased when it comes to anything that's got 80's in it, so I'm the first to admit that an 80's sceptic won't be impressed with this movie, but you won't know for sure until you try!

    Watch this one, and have fun, or be disgusted but do watch it!

    Typical fun 80s movie

    This has all the elements of an 80s film: 80s music, 80s fads, sex, and plot. The cast is mainly Canadian and really only two names come to mind (Carl Marotte from Beyond Reality and Carolyn Dunn from Sweating Bullets). There are some good shots of some Canadian scenery, and some of the humor is pretty good. If you ever see this film advertised on a local station or on USA (known for showing B-movies), give it a try.

    oh mah gah

    my friend and i pooled our pocket change and bought this at the drugstore, on tape, for 99 cents. and boy, were we glad we did!

    this movie is ungodly bad, i mean really incredibly ridiculously bad. it's embarrassing when it tries to be funny and more so when it gets salacious, which is frequently. the acting is awful, the plot negligible and the fashion? *shudder*

    highly recommended for anyone who's glad it's not the 80s any more and wishes to debunk some nostalgia.

    Uhhnnnn..

    I am usually pretty tolerant of crap cinema. In fact, I usually go out of my way to ensure that my rental choice is the absolute worst I can find in the store. Big, faded box, hand-drawn cover.. those movies are gems. For the most part. This one wasn't. This vile teen sex comedy made me violently, gut-wrenchingly ill. If by some rare chance you were looking around for a

    review of this film, I suppose I can waste a few more precious minutes of my life and give you one.. Beverly Hills brat girl tires of her mundane, sheltered

    existence, gets punk makeover (complete with half-shirt

    that says "savage") and drags her best friend along for the ride, looking for cute guys to toy with and eventually abandon. Enter typical horn dog jock meathead type and his hapless, virgin buddy. And then throw in a feeble criminal caper involving a not-so-well-guarded rare jewel that looks remarkably like one you'd plop 25 cents in a machine to get. So, these crazy kids and bumbling criminals butt heads, with hilarious results! Not bloody likely.. Not a single thing was funny in this movie. No camp value, nothing. Some 80's skank, typical laundromat recruits,

    but nothing of any real note. Just sheer cinema masochism for your hard-earned dollar. Feel like enduring particularly brutal sensory torture? Rent this. (Do NOT, however, watch this back to back with Pistol Packin' Leroy, like I did. A combination with potentially fatal results..)
