Yes, corn and cheese feature high on the menu, however in comparison to today’s equivalent – e.g. High School Musical – these 80s films standout for me for two reasons:
1) The super rich bitch – did they just breed them tougher back then? They were mean and stayed mean, none of this ridiculous turnaround near the end of the movie where we all respect each other.
2)Teenage angst – these kids aren’t swooning and singing, or winning and singing, they are tortured, party crashing weirdos! Fantastic!
I love it for the corn, I love it for the horrible choreography, but I particularly love it for the eclectic dressing best friend that doesn’t give a rats ass what the world thinks. She would never be scripted into a similar movie today.
BUY! BUY! BUY!

This, I shouldn’t admit but….I actually purchased this from my local bargain bin for 1 solitary pound! What a bargain.

I will sadly admit to this being the only SJP film I like! AND the eighties disco tunes get me everytime. How very depressing!

“…if you over analyze films, you are just going to cringe all the way through this.”
-Rodney

I think you mean if you analyze films at all (or specifically, try to analyze this particular film), you’ll cringe all the way through this. Any analysis at all, for certain films, could be considered over analyzing (sometimes even a quick peek under the hood would reveal that not much of anything is going on). Some mindless entertainment is well and good, but you don’t need to be a habitual over analyzer to cringe at A LOT of flicks out there.

Well I….uh….yes, I like Helen Hunt!

As for Lee Montgomery, I did like that one low budget 80′s thriller he did…Prime Risk…and who can forget Burnt Offerings, the only horror film without a remake yet!

Well, at least until I brought it up, anyway.
