Wish I'd seen this when I lived in west Texas! Great, campy little movie!

I grew up in a small west Texas town about the same size as the one in this movie. There are at least a couple of hundred little-bitty places like this one down there. The movie takes place in a very small town in west Texas in about 1975. It was released in 1982 but was a period movie covering the time that had passed since a young actor named James Dean filmed a movie there with a few friends like Rock Hudson & Elizabeth Taylor. It kind of reminded me of another movie called "Fried Green Tomatoes" which also was a period movie with Julia Roberts. Anyway, I just watched it on basic cable with a ton of commercials and heavily censored language. Mostly from Cher, but I still liked her total performance and if not for the other mega-hit movies released that year she would surely have been nominated for an Oscar for best actress. If you were born and raised in a big city somewhere and want to get the giggles real bad then download or rent this movie soon! You will not be disappointed!
