If you're expecting one of those happy teen comedies with no meaning whatsoever, you have to look elsewhere. This film wants to say something. Kind of Breakfast Club on the road. It's better than that one though; a young John Cusack showing us why he still are in the industry. And the underrated Daphne Zuniga glows as the significant other. If you're just going to see one teen comedy of the 80s; see this one.
