Don't waste your time

Warning: Spoilers
Well I won't waste anyone's time repeating the plot since it's been mentioned in most of the other reviews.

It's true that the best thing about this movie is some of the great location shots of the Niagra Falls area.

Other than that, this is a pretty lame movie.

I THINK if you thought of it as an afternoon school special, it might pass, I guess.

The vibe of this movie is sort of Disney trying to do the hip 60s thing throwing in Jacqueline Bisset.

It's really funny because every time the camera is on Bisset, the whole feel of the movie changes. It's like she's in another movie. She's so timeless in a way.

Unfortunately most of the movie's time is spent on the three "cute" teenage boyz who are straight out of Disney casting.

Imagine if you will, you took three surfer type dudes from all those Beach Blanket Bingo movies and made them the stars of the flick and threw in Jacqueline Bisset for good measure.

Honestly, I can't figure out WHAT Ms. Bisset was thinking by appearing in this movie.

For her part, she's just fine and seems very modern, while the three teen dudes are so stuck by in time it's scary.

I watched this movie because it was on TCM and the description of the movie sounded fun. Unfortunately, it's about as daring a movie as having butterscotch on your ice cream sundae as opposed to hot fudge!
