80's Call Back
4 October 2020
Clearly they went all out at just trying to be an all-round 80's flashback. Fairly straight forward story of a nerd in high school with a huge crush on the prettiest girl in school, but never makes a move until now. Imagine the 'Superbad' crew in the 80's, but instead don't get their big break at the party until just after college. Which brings up another point.. I thought it was a little odd that an entire graduating class from high school are still having huge bashers even after college.

Music was of course good and very 80's, as was the clothing, though I did wonder whether it was trying too hard at times. Showing the pompous bankers was a neat touch.

The cast all seemed to do well enough. It wasn't hilarious throughout or anything, but definitely had its funny moments, mostly stemming from Dan Fogler. Micheal Biehn was a highlight in his limited role. At times it was extremely awkward, which I guess is what it was going for, but even so, somewhat painful. The final act was its best in my opinion.
