Probably Bill Rebane's best movie. Unlike others he has done that basically had grandiose pretensions without the budget to back them up, and turn into a character play with one setting, this one feels like an actual movie. The best thing about it is, that it is a great period piece that kind of embarrasses you, if you lived during the eighties, that we actually thought we were cool. What passed for "cool" back then, is now, prototypically the classic "white trailer trash" look. Amazingly, it seems as if Bill Rebane had some type of crystal ball telling him that this would be the case decades into the future. There was a lot of subtle comedy that, it would seem, influenced future films. The part where one of the main characters is having supper with his parents and he asks his mother to realize he is a grown man, and his father chimes in with his age, which happens to be younger than his son. A similar gag was used in the movie, "Don't Be A Menace To Society While Drinking Your Juice In The Hood". The bar scene which resembles a scene from "Star Wars", is surreal and absolutely hilarious. This movie seemed to be making fun of itself, and especially the era in which it was filmed.
