i could never stand watch happy day after chachi join the cast and so i know i be in trouble when the best scene in this movie feature scott baio ( a skateboard chase scene . ) . jodie foster in her first grow up role turn in her usual professional performance but that be no excuse for this boring mess . two hour out of my life that i will never get back . no noteworthy character and unbelievable storyline and questionable editing and horrendous cinematography but bad of all and i couldn not have care less . the story of california teen in the 1970 and where the kid live miserable life and all their parent be idiots . don not waste your time watch this ugly excuse for a movie .
