I've always loved this silly romp of a film, and thought that no one else knew of it's existence! I first discovered my, now ratty looking, copy on the rental shelves of my parents convenience store when I was 13, and I still love it to this day. Perhaps my opinion is a bit biased, because I basically own every 80's teen buddy movie (I had a huge black and white Breakfast Club poster hanging in my dorm room this year, and received quite a bit of teasing for it). Maybe my dated tastes don't belong in this ultra modern world, but how could anyone not love these types of movies? Trini Alvadrado's and Britta Phillip's performances really impressed me, Scott Coffey was just plain adorable, Liam Neeson was a great casting choice (very dry and sarcastic in his opening scenes, he really should keep making comedies), and personally, I found Julia Roberts far more amusing in this film than anything else she's famous for! Justine Bateman's acting was a bit melodramatic at times, but it's an otherwise small flaw in this hidden gem. I used to perform quite a bit growing up, and no other movie has allowed me to indulge in my "adolescent rock and roll fantasies" quite like this one. A 7 out of 10
