      Audience Member Juvenile fluff piece which starts as a shallow comedy about throbbing-hearted teens chasing autographs, then morphs into a screwball mistake about parental romance. There are a few in-jokes about the film industry and casting of the time. The cameos give a nice slice of life as portrayed by the studio system. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member Fluffy nonsense is a pleasant diversion of absolutely no weight but a chance to see a stream of big stars in cameos pass through. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
