One Crazy Summer

One Crazy Summer
Warner Bros.
August 8, 1986
Comedy
DVD
B-

At times, this really is one crazy movie, with random satirical moments, like the Ron & Nancy lunchbox.  I was expecting a generic '80s teen comedy, not an '80s teen comedy where the hero (Cusack) graduates from Generic High School.  Not everything lands, but there's an amiable and somewhat innocent feel to this, despite the cartoons that look like Ralph Bakshi animating early '30s style,  perhaps epitomized best by Bobcat Goldthwait and Tom Villard playing twins.  Savage Steve Holland wrote and directed.
