Good fun

Rating: 10/10 (8 March 1999)

I really liked this movie since it is supposed to take place in 1984, right in the middle of my teen years. Anyone that didn't like the music and styles of the 80's would not like this movie and their comments should be ignored.
If, however, you did like the fads and music of the eighties then you should enjoy this movie. This movie was made to make us see how we were back in the infamous 80's. Yes, the story has been done before but Sandler and Barrymore give this movie its charm and humor.
This movie will appeal to a certain age bracket more than others because I think it all depends on how you actually liked the 80's. By the way, people that seem to think there were too many 80's references need to wake up and realize that this IS an 80's movie!
Don't like the actors in it? Then you will have a jaded opinion about the movie. No one can like every actor or actress but you should not use your dislike of the actor to rule your comments. It is an excellent movie for the genre it is meant to fall into.
