A spoof of typical 1980′s teen movies. The idea is that VH1 found a “long-lost”, never-released teen film made in the 1980′s and decided to air it now in 2006; thus it is loaded with the typical formula, clichés, bad fashions, and stereotypical characters found in those movies and makes fun of them.

It’s a sad sign of the times that many movies today pass themselves off as parodies when they are, in fact, just riding the coattails of the movies they are “parodying.” Remember “Airplane”? Guess what! It’s still funny! But just presenting people in loud, ugly clothes, pointing out obvious clichés and using silly phrases from the 80′s doesn’t make this an 80′s parody; without those things it would just be a forgettable teen film about a nerd who wants to be a winner. There are tons of movies like that from the 80′s already and most of them are at least as good, or no worse, than this. Sort of like how “The Wedding Singer” didn’t really need to be set in the 80′s at all either.
This would’ve worked as a real entry into the dumb 80′s teen flick genre–movies that were made for no money, were not funny, were mildly entertaining and are only remembered now as a genre BECAUSE they were so lousy (and had all those awful hair and clothes fashions in them, as well as a lot of tinny “set it and forget it” music scores). There were a handful of good ones that have achieved classic status for being good films (the films of John Hughes), a slew of bad ones that were so bad they’re still remembered today (“Mannequin” and the like), then movies that were like this one–silly, fluffy, mindless pablum hastily thrown together and playing on cable endlessly because they were cheap to purchase. Perhaps that’s a compliment–the makers of this movie have succeeded in creating something exactly as it would’ve been in the 80′s, with no wit or commentary added at all. Like those real 80′s movies, there are a few laughs here, but it’s not really worth the hassle.
