Hilarious. It’s from 1989, but it feels like it’s from some alternate universe. The hairstyles, the clothes, the humor… all of it just seems like someone wanted to take all the silliest elements of earlier 80s comedies, and amp them all up. My favorite thing is the inclusion of some awkward white-guy hip-hop.
This belongs in a category of 80s movies that attempted to court teenage girls, but somehow managed to make them come across sort of shallow. The only movie I can think of right now would be Girls Just Want To Have Fun.
The lead’s romantic interest in Brad seems to be shallower than shallow. Brad never does anything nice or romantic. He does sort of seduce her in an abandoned house eventually, but most of the time, he’s just shown with rippling muscles and perfect hair. No personality. It doesn’t seem to develop her character either.
