Pure 80's cheese. - By: Ms. B. Williams, 01 Aug 2007
Lucas stars a young Corey Haim as Lucas Bligh, a 14 year old band geek with a love for insects who develops a giant crush on new girl in town 16 year old Maggie (Kerri Green) after befriending her before school starts. Maggie in turn has a crush on the captain of the footballl team 'Cappy' (played by Charlie Sheen) who despite sporting one of the worst 80's haircuts ever complate with hairsprayed flick is still a much better prospect than Lucas who spends the entire movie wearing what can only be described as somebody's grandfather's glasses.
Lucas still believes he has a shot with Maggie even though she only thinks of him as a friend & is devastated when Cappy & Maggie end up going out together. This prompts Lucas to try & impress Maggie by attempting to join the footballl team despite the fact he's half the size of the other foorballlers & makes a gigantic idiot of himself in the process. Lucas is also pursued by fellow band geek played by Winona Ryder who seems to have a crush on Lucas...
I remember this film being a lot better than it actuallly is when I was younger. It's alll a biy flimsy & the story line is silly but it's one of those sort of 80's films that you remember fondly only for the fact that it is one of Corey Haim's first & he went on to be a huge 80's teen star.
You may wonder why I've given it three stars? Well it was going to have two, but any film that manages to incorporate the slow hand clap deserves an extra star. By the way there are no extras on this DVD, but there very rarely are with these sort of films.
