[UPDATED 2025 REVIEW] Almost everything about this picture, from the tepid romantic triangle to the awkward music-video segments, barely rises above silly.

Filme bacaninha, o roteiro é bacaninha, o filme tem cenas bacanas, um pouco de drama e um pouco de comédia de melhora o filme, e o elenco ajuda um pouco, e gostei onde as cenas foram gravadas, com tudo isso, eu recomendo esse filme.

Loved the cast and characters. The story is solid and it's a very satisfying film from 1984.

A Dramedy, I missed this movie when going through the 80s phase a long time ago. Nothing really to report...just a good ole time american story / coming of age / relational mayhem kind of flick. Some young stars before they really got going.

This film about the love triangle between a teen (C. Thomas Howell) an older woman (Jamie Lee Curtis) and a married demolition derby driver (Patrick Swayze) has some good moments but mostly falls flat.

Lacklustre but oddly enjoyable bit of 1980s silliness.
