nostalgic look at one night or morning of a small california town and some of it teenager . story wise this be nothing new all the stereotype be in place the loving or bicker couple ( ron howard and cindy williams ) while the rebel ( paul le mal ) stuck with a 13 year old ( mackenzie phuillips ) while the nerd ( charles martin smith ) have a disastrous date with a blonde ( candy clark ) while the hood ( bo hopkins ) show the good boy ( richard dreyfus ) a night out and harrison ford and suzanne somers in small part . what make this movie good than average be the great direction by george lucas he fill the cinemascope screen masterfully while the non stop soundtrack of 50s/60s hit while a great script and the cast of then unknown . it incredible to see some of these actor so young ( especially ford and dreyfus ) and full of life . without this cast and this movie would probably have long since be forget . so and no great shake and but very sweet and nostalgic with some good acting . worth catch . try to see it letter box or on a big screen .
