I think this movie is underrated and should have been giving a lot more credit.
Grandview U.S.A. has a good supporting cast like Michael Winslow(The Police Academy movies, Spaceballs)as the announcer at the Speed Way.
M. Emmet Walsh(Blade Runner, Back To School, and Missing In Action)as Bonnie's father.
John Cusack(Better Off Dead, One Crazy Summer, and The Grifters)as Tim Pearson's friend,Johnny. Joan Cusack as Johnny's sister.
Carole Cook as Mike Cody's mother, Betty Welles.
John Philbin(Children Of The Corn and Point Break)as Cowboy.
I give this movie a 2 thumbs up and 10/10, I had the honor to see it filmed, I was staying with my aunt in Pontiac, Illinois, where the movie was filmed.

- WissenswertesThe song "She's like the wind" was originally written by Patrick Swayze for "Grandview USA" as a love theme for the characters played by him and Jamie Lee Curtis. It was scrapped due to the comedic and somewhat raunchy nature of the film. The track would later eventually be used three years later in Swayze's film 'Dirty Dancing' (1987).
