SummaryLight fun for Cusack fans
Content
While not in the same league as his other movies from the era (Better Off Dead, One Crazy Summer, and The Sure Thing), this one is still a fun and entertaining movie.
Cusack was great as the offbeat, loser teen trying to get the classy girl - and that's what he's up to here.
It's silly, fun, and still makes me laugh.

SummaryThe best Cusack movie you never heard of.
Content
This movie didn't get the attention like other classics like "The Sure Thing" or "Better off Dead" but it captured John Cusack's charming Charlie Brown Turned Hero quality better than any of them. It sits on my list of favorites, but sadly I never see it in a rental store, and I'm afraid it's destined to obscurity.

But the fact is: I loved it. It was a special, funny movie with a lot of charm.

SummaryGreat "cheesy" 80's flick
Content
If you're a big fan of the "cheesy" 80's flicks.. pick this one up. It's really very funny! Pair it with a big pitcher of margaritas and you've got the recipe for a night of laughs.

SummaryARRRR! SPAGHETTI-O'S!
Content
Nice little diversion with Cusack playing a prep-school fish out of Carribean paradise water. When problems at school delay him from joining his girlfriend and her folks on their vacation getaway, he's determined to find any way to catch up with them, even take up with a questionable post-modern pirate of a ship's captain played by Loggia (who delivers the classic line that headlines this review). The movie attempts to be all it can be, with subplots involving a family of crooks, a kidnapping, and a search for paternal acceptance, but it's mostly held afloat by Cusack and Loggia's repartee. This is one of Cusack's last pure-breed 80's comedys before he broke out into his dramedy films of the 90's, and his loud "I DON'T BELIEVE THIS IS HAPPENING TO ME!" schtick wears a little thin by the conclusion, but all parties involved were smart enough to keep the film short, so it's not painfully obvious. An absolute must for all Cusack fans, and decent fun for everyone else.

SummaryFun movie !
Content
John Cusack's early movie and it is a good one. The director Steven Lisberger also directed Tron in 82. The performace is fine and the movie is quite funny every step of the way. Robert Loggia Co-stars.

The DVD is quite good. The picture is sharp and exotic locations are presented beautifully in this DVD. Too bad Paramount did not remastered the sound in 5.1 but the sound quality is adequate. Recommended.
