HILLARY M Awesome movie, saw it in the theater when I was a kid. Plot still holds up well today and Teri Garr is superb. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/01/25 Full Review Saxton G This is the best movie ever made. Not only is it filmed at Michael Giovatto's house, but... ITS FILMED AT HIS HOUSE!! 5 Stars! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/20/25 Full Review Audience Member This ‘80s family drama is really good with good acting and even side actors and actress who become famous later in life and especially late great Corey Haim in the movie who does have lot screen time and even though play the youngest he most out it and Christopher Collet who plays the oldest does have lot of growth and development and for his young age he shows chops a lot better then these movies where the old has to grow up and protect his family and what makes the movie good. Each characters are good enough you can available great potential for being a good movie and cult following it shows sometimes love of son could stronger then blindness for her care free happiness. Yes, the movie be shorter but makes the time goes fast how every scene his eyes and feel for him cause invested fast as you paying attention and great empathy for him and his family. Do like that even though is a small town is that location is beautiful, the house main part of the movie is beautiful and that ‘80s music is so good and brings back to the time and clothes and cars are wonderfully put together where you can see that they r not rich or poor but live well enough that you see things can change over time with this change of this family life. All in all not a bad movie I seen myself revisit it and when I good popcorn or watch it again want to express a classic like it should be. I give a A+👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽 Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/30/24 Full Review Mike P Watchable Stepfather-ish dramatic thriller from the early 80s has teenager Christopher Collett defending his mom Terri Garr and little bro Corey Haim from Ma's predatory boyfriend Peter Weller. Good cast and acting, crisp direction, and believable script until the silly ending. Still very solid for the most part...I'm not sure why everyone dumps on this movie so much. It's not great, but it's not bad either. And it's great nostalgia from 1984...What a time capsule! Overall: Very moderate recommendation Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 04/14/24 Full Review Edward S HOW could you guys give this a bad rating? This movie hit all the marks! I somehow never saw this.. everything was real in terms of how some kids would react-- the deadbeat wasn't a psycho and knew when he was beat. This was a great movie! Great period piece... Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/10/24 Full Review Jeff G Very well made mostly. Very well acted and characters were highly developed. Anyone who has had any kind of similar situation in childhood will easily identify with the main character (Colette) and find themselves pulling for him. Definitely not a 'feel good' movie because it deals with abuse all throughout. The movie fails in some ways with the motocycle chase action scene thrown in and typical 80s ridiculous ending. Besides that definitely entertaining and engaging. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 04/11/24 Full Review Read all reviews
