Plot: Comprised of classic teen movie elements scattered like croutons over a salad, this undistinguished high school drama involves several inconsequential stories at once, set in a seven-day period before the beginning of school. Tom Drake (Christopher Penn, Sean's brother) is a high-school wrestler who loves Eileen (Jenny Wright), but she is more than just a little dubious about their relationship. Since her lecherous boss (Rick Moranis) will not leave her alone, men are at a low ebb in her life. Bill Conrad (Eric Stoltz) is a friend of Tom's who has already graduated and who asks him to share his apartment for awhile to help him out financially. Bill then decides to split with his girlfriend Anita (Lea Thompson), who is suddenly too young for his new status as a high-school grad. Miffed at his rejection, Anita starts a liaison with David Curtiss (Hart Bochner), without knowing that David is married and a father. Other than Bill's 15-year-old brother Jim (Ilan Mitchell-Smith), who follows a Vietnam vet around in adulation, the entire focus of the film is on teen love relationships played by twentysomethings from the vantage point of tensomethings, more or less. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, All Movie Guide

Please release "The Wildlife" on dvd. There are so many other 80's flicks should be released also on dvd. I would like to see "Hot to Trot", and "Summer Job" also released on dvd. Wildlife brings back so many memories when I watched it.

Of course, the movie itself is funny. Having it on VHS isn't the best of quality these days so if you could find it on DVD it would be best. Great movie of the 80's!

A fantastic movie of the '80s

The movie is great, enough said. The reason it is not on DVD is because of problems with the rights to the soundtrack. There is a lot of material on it belonging to Ed Van Halen and he has been unwilling to allow the rights to transfer to DVD. If you are a fan of Van Halen, speak up.
