After all these years and it’s still funny to watch. The humor captures the insecurity’s of anybody who’s ever fell in love.
More a collection of bits and sketches loosely grouped than a traditional film, but free spirted & unique for an 80s teen comedy
Reminds me of being a teenager every time I watch it.
Lots of unrealistic humor but still funny. I enjoyed it
It’s another 80s teen rom-com, but it’s so quotable and fun. Just watch it for the comedic details and forget the main plot. Hilarious!
This and One Crazy Summer were some of my fav go-to LOL movies of the 80s. Both Savage Steve Holland creations had such quotable material.
Hilarious classic with a dark sense of humor
Such a great, oddball romance movie, with stellar direction and a fun group of characters
One of the best comedies of the 80s!!! Must See.
A oddity of a film, but it's perfect. 10/10
