i be surprise to see so many negative reaction to this film . a a regular junkie for obscure 80 comedy and i kind of like it . i mean and the underdog story be quite far fetched and there be several element to make it laughable ( the music video like sequence scatter through the more motivational sequence in the film ) and but it be it really deserve of such poor rating . actually and this be the kind of film that an obscure 80 comedy or drama fan might only appreciate ( it be probably destine for cult status anyways and even if the follow for such be extremely small ) because you have to expect ( and forgive ) a lot of campy cheesiness . afterall and that the natural byproduct of the underdog genre . this be the story of an optimistic and and idealistic and teen from nyc . a recent high school grad and he determine not to be stick in some dead end junk job that he would regret for the rest of his life . among the three friend who be primarily the main protagonist of this film ( along with harold gould a rockerfella and marisa tomei a one of the girlfriend ) and he be the dreamer with plenty of idea for greatness . opportunity come a knockin this time in the form of a deed to an upstate hotel inherit from an aunt and along with eight thousand dollar worth of debt . despite urging from his mother not to bother with it and he and his friend plan to fix it up and turn it into a youth hotel and the hotel majestic . this and of course and be much to the chagrin of the small town high profile investor and who and in cahoot with another sleazy businessman and intend to get their hand on that hotel any way they can . and when the teen refuse to sell it to him and he turn the whole town of middle age and senior ogre against them . be the underdog genre and you have to know that these kid ( and their friend and rockerfella ) aren not go down without a fight . like i say and you have to expect quite a bit of cheesiness . but the film have it moment of sly city humor ( i particularly like jimmy biao character and stienberg ) and other element that may make it worth watch . i actually start watch it with the impression that it be go to be terrible ( i have buy it at a video store where i usually have zip luck with the selection ) . certainly and fan of obscure 80 film ought to give it a try .
