Hey, you can complain about it all you want folks, but this is classic 80s!!! Those of you who feel nostalgic when you hear synth music, see super fluffy layered hair with LOTS of Aqua net, and skintight SV's or Jordache, this is for you.

Robert Beltran is our Ponchlike hero, we who are Trekkers have come to know him as Chakotay from ST: Voyager, but some of you 80s buffs might remember him as "RAOUL" from a little picture from around the same year called "Eating Raoul" with the great Mary Waronov, who is also briefly in this movie as a mad scientist/zombie gone good with a conscience. Her part I wish had been larger, and that her interaction with Beltran had been more detailed... they are great on screen together, and she fits right in with this 80s camp.

Catherine Mary Stewart who used to be Kayla Brady on Days of our Lives shines as the tough chick, while cute Kelly Maroney of Ryan's Hope is her naive cheerleader sister. Sorry if some of you think it is awful, but if you grew up during the time this film was made, I believe you will really enjoy it. The music is really nostalgic... there's one slow song that is really reminiscent of the Frank Stallone days when he was on top with "Staying Alive"... Anyone remember "Moody Girl"? This song will remind you of that, and this movie will make you long for days before the world lost all it's creativity and started copying everything great from that time.

Enjoy, Children of the 80s, this one's for you.

PS... Had to edit this upon just watching it again... How funny and predictive is it that Kelly says "Beam me up Scotty"... As The future Chakotay is listening!" :)

These characters are basically the same girls as in It Takes Two, just with different names and parents. But the fan of that movie can easily see how the personalities are as identical as the twins faces.

Picture naughty Amanda as wild Roxy, and Prissy Alyssa as neurotic, anal retentive Jane. Have them grow apart during teen years due to clashing personalities and the send them into Manhattan on a wild teen adventure being chased by Eugene Levy, and you have the picture.

Curious, I check the twin's bios to see which played which in both films...

Ashley played Alyssa Calloway, the priss, and also plays Jane here...

M.K. played both Amanda and Roxie...

So I guess probably in real life the girls are the same, with Ashley the proper one, and MK wild... Makes sense with all the anorexia and other stuff...

Well the movie was OK, but I prefer the girls first plot involving these girl characters.
