Nostalgia may have bumped my rating a bit, so keep in mind I must have watched this movie 20 times or more the first few years it came out when I was a kid. That being said, while the premise comes across as pretty absurd some 37 years later, there are plenty of solid performances by some young actors who went on to have very successful careers. Cruise before Risky Business; Penn before Fast Times at Ridgemont High; Timothy Hutton, Giancarlo Esposito, and Evan Handler all very early in their careers. Well worth revisiting all these years later. A solid 'good, but not great' flick.
