About the new release due out on April 29th, 2008
According to various movie websites and some DVD sales sites, this is just a repackaging of the previous Anchor Bay release. Don't expect any new special features, just the trailer that was on the earlier DVD. It's reportedly being repackaged to take advantage of the release of the new Sex and the City movie with Sarah Jessica Parker, one of the stars of this movie. Yeah, seems an odd idea to me too, since this movie isn't very much like Sex and the City, and the older DVD is still available. Maybe the new packaging is supposed to have a more Sex and the City vibe. Can't you imagine the girls on the cover chatting about their sex lives?About this movie, it's a 1985 PG-rated teen comedy/dance/romance flick with some female leads who became more famous in other roles. If you were in high school in the 80s, you may find it an entertaining nostalgia rush, as do some who have left rave reviews atthe Amazon page for the earlier DVD. If you're in high school now, you might enjoy it as, well, a teen comedy/dance/romance flick.To put the amazingly high Amazon average rating of 4 and a half stars in perspective, consider that the IMDb weighted average viewer rating is 5.4/10, which is fairly mediocre. According to their data, the film seems to be most popular with viewers under 30, least with those 45 and older. Not surprisingly, women like it more than men.You know who you are.
