Come on its great 80s fun. Teens dressing up as boy-scouts to earn money, convincing friends to help with a dream. The smartest little sister on the screen I just cant help but Love the game they play. Try it if your in the mood for something silly and fun. Hey,Its a Weinstein (think Scream, Emma, Addicted to Love and Kate and Leopold) film one of the firsts. You get to see young actors trying to make their way (Marisa Tomei is in it way before she got famous or won an award.) and some older ones (Harold Gould) helping them out. Now I certainly hope that is enough of a reason to try this film. Hey if nothing else, you get watch Eighties Hair and listen to some good eighties music.

This film absolutely rocked my world when i first saw it when i was about 6 years old in 1989!! It still does!! Yeah it is cheesy and some of the acting is a bit....trashy but the feel good factor is the key!! I have forced loads of my friends to watch it and despite initial hesitations....they ALL felt the love for Danny, Spike and Silk!! Can't remember it first coming out, i never even knew it was that big (was it??) but...god damn its a funky party!! Yeah make a wish....and then make it come true!!! I think its time for a re-make of the great film...it would be damn hot...how can you question that storyline...timeless!! I'm not even joking! Give it a watch if you are capable of thinking that all good films have to be Matrix styley and I bet you will 'feel the heat'!!!

The very first film from Miramax studios, it is directed by Bob and Harvey Weinstein, the studio's two founding executives, and one can easily see the ambitions of young directors in the film. It is rather stylishly made, experimenting with some different camera angels here and there, and it is accompanied by quite a fitting soundtrack of music that its directors were probably into. The film also features Marisa Tomei in her first big role, and although she is not able to conjure up the charm that won her an Oscar seven years later, having her in the film is still somewhat of a delight. The acting in general is actually sub-par, and the plot is awfully silly overall, but it is good-natured fun and often amusing to watch, plus it is interesting to see where Harvey Weinstein and Marisa Tomei began.

This movie could only be interesting to someone who is conducting an anthropological study of 1980s pop culture. Bad hair, bad soundtrack, bad lipstick, gratuitous shots of women's legs, bad over-acting, ludicrously tight pants, bad plot. It's just very bad.
