Crom W Bad actors, and plot. Can someone take this movie away? Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 03/20/23 Full Review Audience Member I'm not mad that I bought this movie nor that I've endured it. Emily Longstreth, who plays the country girl named Bobbie Ann, was also in Star Crystal, Hardbodies, Gimme an F, Pretty In Pink, Private Resort and Wired to Kill, which is a B&S About Movies all-star list if I've ever written one. Speaking of great resumes, another actress who was in this, Mike, is also in Candyman, Hard Hunted, Girls Just Want to Have Fun and Sword of Heaven. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member Okay, so this is a pretty corny flick and the tone is all over the place, but I enjoyed this low-budget piece of junk set in a drive-in over the course of a single evening. I mean, don't get me wrong, what starts out as a comedy of people coming to the drive-in eventually has an attempted rape scene and a savage beating, but overall I dug it, if only because it's such a strange tonal shift for no real reason. Rental. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member Really liked Joel Bennett's performance. Too bad he pretty much disappears from the big screen after this. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Audience Member Im a big fan of the drive-in but this little 'character' comedy is far from being one of the better ones that Ive seen featuring ozone cutters. In fact it's more of a promotional film for Hard Rock Zombies more then anything else. It almost worked too & if I wasn't so tired after watching it I was going to crack that movie & watch it again..then I remembered how fucking awful it was. American Drive-In is pretty lame for the most part though & ultimately falls apart in the end. It does have some moments as I couldn't help but giggle @ the Michelob references & Phil Fondacaro does a hilarious job of self promotion on a otherwise shitty 3rd rate career. Every scene that he's in is a highlight making me wish he was in it more. A little man w/ gigantic magnetism Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Great cult movie! There's a fan club for the movie, complete with some stars, on the pages of Facebook!!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Read all reviews
