i was flipping through the channels and had to stop and laugh when i came across this movie. It was so clearly about teens in the early 80s, and i called my mom "hahaha, turn to channel such and such, the kid totally looks like if dad were a kid".
Um. Yeah. Turns out this movie is about my dad & his friends.
Even without it being about loosely based on my dad's childhood, i'd say watch this movie!
It is just.....bizarre to say the least, the apathy instilled in teens even back then. This is a good "human interest" and showcases some strange sides of the psyche.
