Plot: In this madcap comedy, Demi Moore plays Cassandra and John Cusack is Hoops McCann, two people who eventually fall in love and help each other out. Hoops is a cartoonist working on a teen love story that he hopes will get him accepted into art school. Cassandra is a troubled young woman about to lose her home to a money-hungry developer. Characters with names like Squid Calamari, Clay Stork, or Ack Ack Raymond are involved in the unfolding romance and figure in several slapstick routines. Several cartoon sequences are inserted throughout this comedy to comment on the story. This was director Savage Steve Holland's second feature-length film. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, All Movie Guide

All rerecycled stuff.

Full of old, old cliches begining with a high school named Generic. The crazy uncle, the aunt who hands out a check to guests she serves meals in her home, the hardware owner, a crazy retired military man who loves bombs and guns, stupid vehicle chases with the vilians driving into the sea, and on and on infinitum.
I like Cusack movies but apparently his early ones are all bombs.

Not Crazy Enough

This movie is cute if you really loved "Better Off Dead" but doesn't really hold up under closer scrutiny. Too many characters changed and just aren't as charming and the jokes just aren't as much fun.

Awesome I love it

I love John Cusack movies. Am I the only one that thinks he kind of got the short end of the stick on this acting thing. He is by far the best Actor Hollywood has. give me a break. Incredible God gifted amazing talent. I think needs to be noticed, appreciated, and honored.

Adolescence nostalgia at its best

obviously this is one of those great movies that my generation grew up watching on saturdays and this DVD cleans it up and makes the picture brighter and even that much more enjoyable. there aren't any "making of" featurettes, but lets face it, you want to watch this movie and those special features really aren't needed for such a great '80s movie.

One Crazy Summer
Added 8/12/2008

John Cusack and Demi Moore are entertaining in this light comedy from the 80s. Bob Goldwait does some wacky stuff including dress up in a Godzilla suit and cause panic and destruction that will earn a few laughs. Moore plays a struggling singer as in "No Small Affair" that can't seem to get the money together in time to keep her house. Their zany group must find a boat and get it ship shape to enter the Regatta to win the trophy to trade for Moore's house so it won't be plowed under and made into Condos. This is of course by a underhanded rich family of snobs that have won the Regatta for years. If you are in the mood for some 80s style comedy this is a decent bet. Not quite the firepower of a "Ferris Bueller", but certainly worth a look. Good quality DVD with decent replayability. If you enjoyed this catch "Summer Rental" and "Better Off Dead".
