This movie is just awful. I bought it because I was curious about the young Nick Cage. Well, he has less wrinkels. The plot of thismovie is: boy falls in love with girl. Its not even clear what he likes about her, but hey, its teen love. Had I seen this movie 10 years earlier I would have thougt all the setting is plain fiction and totally made up but I am afraid that is what was (is) true life for US teens in the 80s. Its not even romantic. Its not funny. Not even her Hippi-parents. Its just shallow. Mightbe useful if you are a teacher to show it in class. It is interesting as a 80s study and shows your children how innocent they ought to be.The only thing worth mentioning for me: I was suprised that Sushi got IN that early. But hey, I am from Germany and compared to LA thats the other side of the moon, right?
