While I wouldn't call this good, the world is a better place for this existing simply because it really has no right to. Is this a dramedy? It's hardly dramatic, and utterly fails when it tries to be ("Moody, you bastard!"). A comedy? It's not really funny. This late 70s time capsule features a slutty grandmother, a skirt-chasing Marty Mull, Matt Dillon calling people "faggots" and a pair of protagonists who never try to get laid, which in this post-American Pie world, seems positively radical.

So true to life back in the day and yet so mild when compared to the bullying of today. I loved it as a young adult and I still enjoy it now.

A decently inspiring if occasionally a bit overly cheesy pre-"Fast Times" and pre-John Hughes teen movie. It's a looser screenplay with more extraneous dialogue and less "punchlines" than we're used to from the genre today, but you get to know the two characters well and it has a unique charm. Young Adam Baldwin rocks.

Enjoyable little film about friendship and kicking some ass.

As a 15-year-old, I loved this movie. As an adult, I'm not sure it would hold up, but it still holds a special place in my heart.
