I love the 1980s but this picture disappoints

Rating: Null/10 (6 October 2000)

I love the 80s, it seems to be forgotten by a lot of people but believe me, a lot of things happened in the 80s. Unfortuantley, this picture paints the 1980s in an average fashion, the film is dopey. It had potential, but by the end it was a plain bore. There are some genuine funny moments and some nice ideas but the story was a plain bore, we've seen it many times in other films.
Adam Sandler actually shows he can act a little, nothing great but serviceable. Then you have Drew Barrymore, she's okay nothing special.
Technically, the film is fine, nothing astounding, it's never won awards.
The songs were a nice touch, some excellent tracks, but the music should've helped the story more. The director never utilized the songs in a more interesting fashion, we never had the eye candy to tie in with the music.

Overall, a disappointing film, not consistently funny or interesting, especially the horrid finale.
