This flick was a sweet look at 80's genre, and a vehicle for young actors of the day. If you are longing for a simpler time when gangbangers had fades, and listened to "Beat it" on ghetto blasters this is for you. Our protagonist goes for the girl and gets a lot of grief from everyone for his efforts. Funny, Spader seldom got the good guy role, and he does it here with an edgy chip on his shoulder, never letting his hair-sprayed "do" get too messy in the process. The origin of "slam dancing" is here, sans Pat Benetar. Better yet, our hero's sidekick teams up with Jim Carroll as Robert Downey Jr. is on the drum kit. It's almost surreal as they kinda seem like themselves in the Carroll cameo and not in a movie, a real creepy moment ensues where a funky-dressed character bats his/her eyes at Downey as freaky groupie type. The whole film gets out of hand, where the young Spader really cops an attitude with his socially embarrassed mom, who doesn't bond with his wrong-side of tracts and amazingly mall-maned Kim Richards. Too many plots to make much sense out of as it cumulates into totally anarchy at the final battle scene where Spader morphs into McGiver. Its a funride, as long its not to be taken too seriously. Casting was superb, do not miss it, an 80's classic...SheeSheeLarouxRead full review
80s movie that still is worth watching!One of those movies with great music and great actors who went along to be in bigger motion pictures.Anchor Bay released this in WideScreen and the quality of the picture is amazing.Kim Richards plays the character of Frankie who is amazing in this movie.James Spader is more of the victim in the film and not his usual bad boy image in most of his other movies.And you gotta love Robert Downey Jr. I really recommend this true classic.Your gonna get romance but you have to be TUFF ENOUGH@@@!!!!
Love Kim Richards, she is a great actress. This is a great '80s movie with great young actors. I didn't know about this movie until I checked eBay, looking for Kim Richards. I didn't know if she had done any acting between the "Witch Mountain" movies and "Black Snake Moan". Glad I checked, she is awesome in this movie. It kinda reminds me of groing up in the '80s. I reccomend this movie to all Kim Richards fans!
