    A Brilliant movie!
  • August 10, 2010
    A coming of age story set in the 1950's about high school love, best friends and the "what if" that happen in life. With an unknown cast (at that time)...the music of the era is the only thing that propels this comedy. Fans of 'American Graffiti' will most likely enjoy this film ... read moremore for it's nostalgic look at the music and atmosphere of rebellious youth!!!!!!!!

    This movie made me laugh so much.It blows away the clean cut image of the '50s. Especially liked Danny Nucci as Spider.
