A blast from the past

Rating: 7/10 (1 October 1999)

I was a senior in high school when this film first came out, I didn't pay too much attention to it because "Vinnie Barbarino" was in it and the only real cool part of it was of course the tunes. A couple nights ago on HBO they were showing it, so I decided to sit down and see what I had missed. I found out, I missed a compelling story of a young man just going with the crowd when it finally dawns on him to go for his dreams. And of course the disco beat still had me hopping. I certainly wished I would have paid more attention when I was young and it would have done me some good.
