Totally Awesome

I was born in 1986, so, yeah, I wasn't old enough to be a part of everything like some of you guys were, but, as I did get older, I did rent or watch all the 80's movies on TV. I also love 80's music and own a bunch of 80's cd's and listen to 80's weekend on 94.3 OK, now to the movie. I loved it. Was there things that were miss? Yes. Was there things that were hit? Most definitely. More than there were miss. The only things I didn't like about the movie was the character of Max. The movie would have held better without him as he wasn't needed at all and wasn't funny. The second thing was the soundtrack. They played awesome 80's songs, but, there were only like 7 80's songs in the film. I felt like they could have used a good 15-20 songs from the 80's and it would have made a great Totally Awesome soundtrack to buy on cd. Other than that, for the songs they did use, it was awesome. The styles were also quite awesome. And, the spoofs were just hilarious. The TV spots didn't do the movie justice as it was way funny. I bought the DVD on the day it came out, which was today. And, it's unrated, and, for a TV movie, the DVD isn't vanilla at all. There looks to be some decent special features, though, I have yet to watch them. So, be sure to at least rent and watch this movie if you haven't seen it on VH1 yet, because, you'll love it if you're a child of the 80's or before. Heck, I'm sure you'll want to buy the DVD even.

It's a crime that so few people have heard of this movie, and that so many have SEEN Meet the Spartans and Date Movie. This is flick is on such a higher level! Tracy Morgan's walking techniques, Chris Kattan's dance routines, and way too many subtle throw-away lines to count, make this movie TOTALLY AWESOME! The director's latest movie, The Goods, I found to be only "with its golden moments". Honestly, if you're on your way out to see it, spend the time to track this movie down instead. You'll have many more LOLs, and all in the comfort of your living room with whatever snacks you want to bring in! I totally plan to talk about this on hotcakesPodcast dotcom sometime before episode 60! PS Small Computer, Broken Leg...Look forward!

I will warn you ahead of time ... if you're looking a good plot line or great characters, this is NOT the movie for you; but then again, plot lines were TOTALLY "OUT" in the 80's.

This movie is a good mix of kitschy fun mixed with 2 great ex-SNL-ers that totally made it worth the watch (I wish I had Chris Kattan's moves ... hahaha)...and Tracy Morgan ... c'mon THINK about it ... have YOU ever broken a Puerto Rican's arm for sweat pants money??? I know I haven't ... yet.

This movie even touches on some lesser-known flicks (see if you can catch ALL the references the first time through!)It's TOTALLY AWESOME in such a TOTALLY bad way! Like, for sure!

Ok at first when I saw the commercials for this VH1 tv movie I thought to myself "another spoof movie?" Was it going to be like the horrid spoof movies like epic movie and date movie? When I watched it, I was pleasantly surprised. Even 10 years after the fact I still laugh out loud. Now I love dumb humor movies, but some of the jokes are deep. It gets slow after about the midway point with the jokes falling flat but Tracy Morgan and Chris Kattan are the high points for me in this movie. (That's something that's never been said ever) but the freaks out of "DANCING IS MY LIFE!!!!!!!" to the dance off in the hallway of the school dance, tracy morgan reaching Charlie how to be "black". Idk to me, this movie had me laughing majority of the way through. I'm always entertained when watching. Sure, it's not a high budget movie with jokes that run the course of sophisticated, but it's a movie if you like dumb humor and get it, it'll keep you entertained for a decade like it has me

I've just watched this movie on TV, and it seems to me a sad attempt at pointing fun at the 80's, but fails miserable.

"Not Another Teen Movie" wasn't amazing, but at least it nailed the bad 90's teen movies and put some humor into it.

This movie is about a brother,Charlie, (Mikey Day) and sister ,Lori, (Dominique Swain) who move to a new town in California from Pittsburg. The sister loves to dance and trained as a ballerina, so naturally she's crushed when she discovers she can't dance in this new town. The guy is ranked bottom of his senior class in 'coolness' on his first day and makes some feeble attempts to "rise against the cool people."

There's the unattainable hot chick, the jerky popular guy who makes no sense and the freaks. There's also Charlie's best 'freak friend', Billie (Nicki Clyne), who has a hopefully crush on him and can't admit it (Sixteen Candles right there).

The movie progresses with bad references to "Dirty Dancing", "Teen Wolf" and the like.

I won't give away anymore, but I wouldn't recommend this movie unless it's 3am and nothing else but infomercials are on.

It's not nearly stupid enough to be considered "so stupid it's funny" and it's not interesting enough to have any sort of cult following.

(And then there's the creepy janitor (who's an ex-dancer) and the principal who doesn't give a hoot.)
