Steve J. Rogers 0 Report post Posted September 16, 2003 Was hearing alot of talk about this early 80's "Coming of Age" comedy on a local radio station a while back, staring Dianne Franklin of "Better Off Dead" fame and having never seen it mentioned in various "Most Underatted Films" threads over the years here (and other sites) I wonder how many people here appreciate it The guys on this radio show were saying it was their favorite 80's movie because it was the most realistic of the 80's "Coming of Age" genre flicks as the guy does not get the girl at the end Must have been pretty good then, I am surprised it doesn't get too much mention, maybe thats the reason, too many causal movie viewers (mass popular audience) likes the "Guy Gets The Girl" ending Steve Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
notJames 0 Report post Posted September 16, 2003 I can definitely appreciate it. The story plays out like the ultimate teen angst letdown: guy helps girl get over jerk, guy thinks he has chance with girl, girl goes back to jerk, guy drives off into the night utterly dejected, cue sad song, fade to black. Just like life. Plus there's copious amounts of gratuitous '80s-style nudity. Just like life. I think it's coming out on DVD soon, if it's not out already.
