On the eve of graduation, lonely California college student Molly (The Bangles' Susanna Hoffs) is depressed by the fact that, despite being surrounded by boys for four years, she's never had a lasting romance. Realizing that this may be her last chance to find the man of her dreams, Molly convinces her fun-loving roommates Gina (Joan Cusack) and Val (Dedee Pheiffer) that they should hit the beach for the wildest party of the year. Even if Molly doesn't manage to find Mr. Right, she's determined to have the time of her life trying. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

    A predictable story, boring characters, and it's not all that exciting or funny either. I didn't care for this movie, and I do not recommend it.

    "The Allnighter" really is a great film from 1987, a great look on the lives of four friends about to graduate from college and getting ready for the real world. The songs in this film are really great. Susanna Hoffs of the great 1980s pop rock band The Bangles stars in her only ... read morebig film role. Susanna's mother directed the film.

Mrs. Hoffs should not make jokes about film making. Full Review

Hard to say what this is really, except maybe an inadvertent documentary on child abuse. Full Review

A perfectly dreadful film whose chief selling point is that it's the first starring role for Bangles lead singer Susanna Hoffs and that the director is none other than Mom, Tamar Simon Hoffs. Full Review

I had a HUGE crush on Susanna Hoffs when this came out, and I still ended up hating the movie.

Tacky 80's cheese directed by the leading lady's own mother.
