As long as one doesn't demand too much of it, Corvette Summer delivers a very pleasant two hours of escape.

One of Hollywood's better 'growing up' movies.

Miss Potts may well be a gifted comedienne, but Mr. Robbins never lets her relax enough for the talent to show. Too often, he strains his actors' enthusiasm to the breaking point.

2.5/4

...it's impossible to completely dismiss the film due to the pervasively agreeable feel with which it's been infused.

Hamill has jokingly suggested that perhaps the movie would have done better had it been named Car Wars; he's probably not wrong.

3/4

All in all a very funny movie with enough solid, believable story to take it beyond the realm of teenage summer fare.

While it is no American Graffiti, it is still a fun watch. It has an awesome one of a kind car that has become a fixture of classic Hollywood cool cars. Definitely give it a watch if you are in the mood for some 70’s fun.

Okay I was 13 years old when I saw this paperback at the bookstore. Corvette Summer, with a picture of the wildest custom Vette I had ever seen. Now remember it was the 70s and I was a kid. I know now that the car is hideous but I still love that car. I reached the end of the book and it said “Comming this summer to theaters.” I was all in. I wasn’t expecting Citizen Kane and it is the furthest thing from it. It is just a silly little popcorn flick. It stars Mark Hamill fresh from Star Wars and Annie Potts in her screen debut.

Mark Hamill heads to Vegas to find his stolen car. His character is so bizarre crazy in an unsympathetic, annoying way, He drains the fun out of the movie. The one true gem in Annie Potts, Wow, so hot, charismatic, sexy ---- she makes it worthwhile.

I thought Mark was good in Star Wars, this... not so much. Why it's called "Corvette Summer"
