An entertaining physical teen comedy

Rating: Null/10 (4 April 1999)

I saw this movie at a sneak screening a little while ago. It's a funny comedy about 4 teens trying to score KISS tickets back in the late 70's. The movie follows the 4 boys and demonstrates what they're willing to do to obtain the tickets.
There are a lot of familiar faces in the movie and the story moves along at a nice pace. A large part of the comedy is physical, along the same lines as that found in There's Something About Mary.
Overall, a good movie that will be liked by the under-21 age group, doesn't do much for the older generation even if it attempts to sway them into the theatre by mentioning KISS.
My biggest problems with the movie, the script could have been funnier, relied less on physical comedy and more on the screenplay. Second, its suppose to take place in Detroit but it wasn't shot there. If you're going to shoot the film in another city, try to make it a point to avoid capturing their famous landmarks in the scene. Hopefully in the final release, these landmarks aren't so obvious and noticeable.
