I’m that weird person who thinks the new one is better, but this one’s the classic. Have to watch it.
watched this after my school put it on for the annual musical, it was pretty good
It's one of my guilty pleasures. Love this movie
Great old movie that is definitely worth a watch
Watch a teenage move to a small town after a tragic loss where all he wants to do is express himself
Way better than the new version. More genuine
A fun movie which features a young Kevin Bacon and an interesting plot. I enjoyed it and it’s deserving of more attention. Classic
Great soundtrack. A tad over acted but in a way that suits the melodrama of youthful rebellion. Somehow the ridiculous plot works. A gem.
I like the remake better. But this is good also. Good cast, well made, great soundtrack!
Love time capsule movies like this. Bacon is on his game, and so is Singer. Wish Ren and Shaw’s conversation would have been better, though.
