Audience Member Best campy movie ever. I have seen worst movies made into sequels. The Pondo Sinatra character is that friend you knew in High school or College, who could never get a date no matter how hard they tried. This is why its so -funny. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review Audience Member I remember first watching this movie in the 5th grade so of course as a kid I thought this was the greatest movie of all time had everything fart jokes lots of titties what do you want I was a kid at the time Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Audience Member best pre -downtown party movie ! been watching for 30 yrs now. great soundtrack . i run to half these songs Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/13/23 Full Review Audience Member This is the best comedy film, I've ever watched. It's got great acting so many funny moments and good story all in one movie. I really love this movie. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/15/23 Full Review Audience Member (**): [img]http://images.rottentomatoes.com/images/user/icons/icon13.gif[/img] Overall, this is a bad movie, but I did laugh at times. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review Audience Member This is so awesome in the worst way. If you don't take this seriously it will surprise you on how amazingly stupid it is. The film also has one of the most killer kick ass early 80's punk and new wave soundtracks ever. Sick degenerate humor abound but still packs in the laughs at a decent running time. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Read all reviews
