That was a fun movie.

I always thought the music was trying to be sort of a Springsteen imitation. :shrug:

[jus_the_facts]

7. Hey....Welcome to DU....it is a fun movie......

....I couldn't wait to see it when it came out at the movies...my friend had just gotten her drivers licence and we went to see it...had a massive crush on 'Eddie'! :evilgrin:

Glad you've found us here in the Underground! :hi:

[MrSlayer]

17. Unfortunately, I do.

And I wish I didn't.

21. I saw it for free, to review it for my college newspaper.

And I felt cheated. The friend who went to see the movie with me and I were reduced to counting the number of cigarettes lit and not smoked completely. We started that after we got bored picking apart the threadbare plot.

I'm sorry if this offends anybody who liked it, but I was so bored by the forty-five minute mark, from the scenery chewing and cliches, I was ready to leave -- but I'd pulled somebody's fat out of the fire by agreeing to review it, and had to sit through to the credits.

Joey Pants was so awful in that movie, I was surprised he continued to have a career. In all honesty, though, Michael Pare was actually pretty good -- but he couldn't have saved that script except with a blowtorch and a can of gasoline.

[jus_the_facts]

22. Oh well...to each his own....

:hi: anyway! :P

[Spirochete]

18. I remember it.

I still have the soundtrack CD, by John Caffery and the Brown Beavers.

[jus_the_facts]

24. Wish I still had mine..but it was only on tape.....

...wore it out in fact..."Ooooh tender years...won't you wash away my tears.." Loved it! :loveya:

[Spirochete]

26. Tender Years

that's my favorite one,too.

[jus_the_facts]

27. I gotta get that CD....that song melts my heart when I hear it.....

.....especially now that I can look back at those tender years *the 80's in my teens* and wanna weep as I'd like to recapture some o'my innocence! ;-)

[bbernardini]

23. Of course! John Cafferty and Beaver Brown rock!!!

I've been collecting all their stuff for ages, and I have three or four live recordings as well. I got to meet them when I was a wee lad in 1985, and they couldn't have been nicer.

The movie is basically crap, though. :)

[jus_the_facts]

25. They do indeed rock.....

...and *I* liked the movie too...John's voice went rather well with Michael's face! :evilgrin:

[Lindsey]

28. I loved it and "Tender Years"

"how I wish you were here, please don't go tender years."

[Cocoa]

31. anyone remember the Justine Bateman ripoff?

"Satisfaction," the distaff Eddie and the Cruisers.

Liam Neeson was the love interest, though he may have turned out to be the bad guy.
