Or just youtube it for the best parts! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member This movie was part of my adolesence. It was an anti-drug movie, but some scenes are so over the top it has a great campy humor too Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Audience Member Helen Hunt jumping out the window is worth the price of admission alone!
