Aside from a few decent moments, the film never lives up to the promise of its set-up.

Rated: 2.5/5

the film kept me interested through the end, and I enjoyed the diversion from the typical 80s teen comedy

Keanu Reeves can do no wrong. It's a fun movie, a fun time, and Keanu and Lori have amazing chemistry. I really recommend if you want to dive back in the 80s feels.

George Clinton's performance in the film was its only redeeming quality!

Arguably the funniest and most entertaining teen oriented movie of the 1980's, and the best of the "date movie" genre from that era. Keanu Reeves at his best and most natural. A pure classic
