Diagonaldi Very well executed

Blucher One of the worst movies I've ever seen

Tetrady not as good as all the hype

Borgarkeri A bit overrated, but still an amazing film

bettie bat One of the best 80's punk movies out there. It's about a guy that works in his father's office and decides to break free of that life for a life of partying, clubs, and a punk rock lifestyle. It's full of laughs, good music, and life lessons. I didn't have many expectations before watching this movie, but I was pleasantly surprised. If you can find it then watch it! Even if you just like fun, 80's, teen angst kind of movies, this one is for you. Great music (TSOL makes an appearance) and the acting wasn't half bad. I recommend this movie to anyone who has ever felt like "breaking free" of their normal routine and figuring out what living it up is all about.

Pepper Anne Fans of obscure punk-themed 80s movies should find something appealing with this rather unusual, but nonetheless funky, little adventure.The story primarily concerns the self-discovery of main character, Joey, a recent college graduate who has his future mapped out for him by his over-bearing father and well-meaning, but naive mother. That is, clerking for his father's money grubbing law firm, getting prepped at Yale law in the fall, and then being next in line to take over the family firm. Only, things change when Joey and his yuppie friends from Shaker Hieghts travel into "the darkside" (aka. the rundown part of town) to attend a punk show. There, Joey meets a drummer named Thunder and I guess, falls in love and is inspired to try a more adventurous life.He suddenly leaves home after trying to explain to his father that maybe he'd rather do something with his summer other than clerking at the law firm, and in a search for his beloved drummer girl, befriends a cool singer for a punk rock band (played by real punker, Pleasant Gehman, who co-writes the film) who is searching for a new drummer. Soon enough, Joey is living in L.A. with the band and enduring one night of excitement and oddity after another as becomes more and more imbibed in the punk culture.Although, despite all the great music and mildly hilarious events surrounding our characters, the movie tends to drag pace about the point that Joey decides that fun time is over and that he needs to go home and get serious, probably because it is at this point that we see less of the goofy punk girls (although I wouldn't call their music punk) who showed him many good times before and got the poor bloke to loosen up.Nonetheless, it offers good times and some good laughs for the most part. Fans of the new-wave or punk inspired movies of the early 80s should like this one. Despite being released one year shy of 1990, it possesses a lot of the low-budget flavor of its predecessors.

MadRaina If you like stereotypical 80's movies this ones for you. I first purchased this movie because of the character "Amy Curtis," that Juliette Lewis has a bit part as. But I ended up really enjoying it. The characters are all developed well and It has some very funny scenes that keep you watching. If you like 80's culture and the music scene from those days, you should look into seeing this. The movie is very hard to find, sadly, but if you can find it,its worth a see.
