      Audience Member I remember liking this movie as a kid. I dont remember what is was but in the movie they played a game almost like tag or hide and seek where they chased each other around the city, me and my friends used to play it around our neighborhood. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review don s Typical 80's teen comedy. Unbelievable situations, cornball laughs, outlandish fashion, and great music. Watched this for Marisa Tomei - I think it was her first movie. She's okay, but doesn't have a big role. Not really worth your time unless you are a big Tomei fan like me. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Recent high school graduates find purpose in life when they remodel a dilapidated resort. Although hardly memorable, its one of the better teen sex comedies of the 1980s. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Audience Member when I was a kid it was 1 of my favorite movies!! Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/14/23 Full Review Audience Member A good, forgotten film. Not quite as good as the likes of Ferris Bueller, Breakfast Club or Sixteen candles... but it's still a pretty fun watch. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Audience Member Playing for Keeps (1986) -- [4.0] -- Miramax moguls Bob and Harvey Weinstein directed and cowrote this uninspired teen comedy about three high school graduates who transform a dilapidated bed & breakfast into a hip & happening getaway for young people. It's like leftovers from half a dozen John Hughes and John Cusack movies. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
