Clifford (Clayton Rohner) manages to score a date with beautiful party girl Kelly (Virginia Madsen) despite his lack of social skills. But, when he drives over to her place, she's a no-show. Clifford does not have long to lament this development, as Kelly's roommates (Cynthia Gibb, Daphne Zuniga) convince him to drive them through Los Angeles. Ostensibly a search for Kelly, their journey becomes transformed into a wild joyride through the city's nightlife.

Pat Graham Chicago Reader 01/10/2004
Doing what modern girls do evidently, which consists mainly of making new wave noises according to last month's fashion and listening to the assorted techno-pop bands on the sound track. Go to Full Review Janet Maslin New York Times 05/20/2003
It isn't worth seeing, but it might be worth putting in a time capsule, right beside ''Ferris Bueller's Day Off.'' Twenty years from now, no one will believe life was ever lived this way. Go to Full Review Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times 01/01/2000

Cheesy little mid-80s fare; lotsa bad music, bad hair, and bad acting. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

C P. @BahnianBabby Oct 25 Punches way above the weight of the script with amazing music and 1980s club outfits. The photography is excellent and while the acting and script arent great, the movie is a total vibe if you keep your expectations in check.

The USA grossed over $264,300.00!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! See more Steve D 03/05/2023 The almost nonstop music is distracting but the script is fun and so is the cast. See more 12/26/2019 This is one of my favorite movies from the 80's! It's cute, it's funny, and has lots of great music. Recommended! See more 07/15/2018 A fun little movie about a night out on the town in LA with a trio of vapid airheads, who recruit a nerdy boy to chauffer them around. By the end of the wild night the group are inseparable. Great cast, with good chemistry. It's a good time. It also serves as a time capsule of the 80s. See more 05/11/2018 1980's comedy with not much plot and not much intelligence. See more Read all reviews
