don not get me wrong and the first star war film be a masterpiece for many reason and but none of them be the clunky dialogue in the script . george lucas be know for and along with his special effect and star war film and awful script . the most recent star war film be so poorly write they make me cringe and and this be george lucas only good script to date and possibly because it wasn not entirely write by him . american graffiti be a low budget classic that really make you feel like youre in 1962 and and by the end and you would not want to leave . here we have four story about teen graduate high school and each one different and each one surprisingly good . there curt ( richard dreyfus ) who confuse if he want to go to college or just stay home and go to junior college . after some turn of event and he end up with a gang of hoodlum . steve ( ron howard ) say the wrong thing to his girlfriend and be try to patch thing up . terry ( charles martin smith ) be take care of steve car when steve go away to college and and he pick up a good lookin chick and which result in many comedic situation . john milner ( paul le mat ) be a drag racer try to pick up chick and but he get more than he bargain for when he end up with the 13 year old sister ( play by a young mackenzie phillips ) of a female acquaintance of his . all four of these story take place over one night and and they all level each other out nicely . all the kid give good performance here . some be stereotype and but they be likable stereotype that break out of the mold and become more than one dimensional character . the sub plot be genuinely funny and and in some way this actually remind me of two late movie roll into one . this movie be like john landis two film animal house and the blue brother pack into one good movie . it have the rowdy teen and and fast car and and it have the cool 50 and early 60 music . the situation these character face be often imitate in more recent film . for example and in superbad and an underage character try to but alcohol almost get away with it and but the store be rob . here and the character get away with it and and the store be rob . it like the same scenario . i know my review contain a few comparison to other film and but with a great teen comedy like this and all you can do be compare it to imitator and and this come out on top . perhaps a young george lucas be inspire to ( co ) write this good script and or perhaps he just happen to strike lightening and something his write would not do again . prove me wrong mr. lucas . my rating represent half out of . 110 min . pg for language and sexual innuendo .
