    Great fun

    I thoroughly enjoyed this movie. Cute beyond words. The scenes in the bar are nothing short of hysterical as this poor kid staggers around getting himself in more and more trouble...and the dance routine is soooo freaky/cool lol.

    Most of the minor roles are really great and its easy to miss some of the one liners and characters peppered throughout this film.

    I wouldn't recommend this as a typical brat packer movie - although on the surface, it could be mistaken for one.

    On the negative side, it takes a little while to get the flow of the movie and Keanu's character but it is worth it. Once you have tuned in to the humour, its a very funny movie.

    This film has an amazingly young (and cute) Keanu, plus some really side splitting moments. The awful fashion and great music makes this trip back into the late eighties great fun.

    A great 'lose yourself' movie. Makes you wonder!

    Being that this is my first ever review it is strange that I've picked this particular little 80's treasure!

    Now, Keanu Reeves. Not many people rate him as an actor. That much is clear by reading some of the other reviews of this movie (and others of his). Early in his career he starred in this movie about a regular 'geeky' guy who wants the cream of the crop. Miss-High-School-Cheer-Leader-Drop-Dead-Gorgeous-Thing!

    Well, he manages to somehow get her on a date. In fact he gets her to go the prom! (No spoilers)

    He wakes up in a strange place. Doesn't know what's going on and that's this movie's premise. He wakes up in a dead end place. His date GONE. Keys to a car that's no longer there... He has to find out where his date went? THEN find out why he sold her! And then find the Pimp he sold her to!? Now if that don't make you want to buy/rent this film I don't know what will!

    This flick is really great guys honestly. Check it out! It's also a very dark kinda movie in places. Strange and weird. Well directed. Be sure to check out Lori Loughlin. She is truly gorgeous in this film! And Keanu is FUNNY!!!

    "Let me tell you a little something' about Tito... The man... is DUMB!" - classic.

    Watch it and/or pray it comes available on DVD/Blu Ray in USA or UK!!

    Interesting, fun film

    I caught this movie on a pay channel over 10 years ago. It begins with a very young Keanu Reeves waking up in an alleyway after a night of heavy drinking. He is wearing a dirty prom tuxedo with no memory of what he did with his prom date. The film unfolds in a series of clue searching and memory flashbacks in which Reeves slowly pieces together exactly what happened.

    To my pleasant surprise, I found myself totally engrossed in the film within the first 5 minutes! At the time, I had no idea who Keanu Reeves was, so my interest in the movie was totally unbiased by his fame.

    I truly enjoyed this movie for just what it was...a fun movie to watch. Nothing too deep or meaningful here.

    I especially enjoyed the cameo by George Clinton.

    Smoking Hot Lori Loughlin

    Like the old adage "humor is subjective", some people love the low-brow humor in this movie, and others think it "stinks on ice".

    My opinion is, it lies somewhere in between.

    It is really fun to watch a pre-A List Keeanu, and watch him deal with such a crazy prom night misadventure.

    But for me personally, watching a drop-dead gorgeous Lori Loughlin (not long before her stint on Full House), is the most fun. She is the definition of "80s super-hot babes".

    You can catch it on cable if you're lucky. like I was.

    Whats the worst thing that can happen if you watch this? A lost 90 minutes out of your life. Big whoop.

    Nice 80's movie!!!!! A must watch for 80's and movie lovers!!!!

    Really nice movie guys, it starts strange then unfold into this funny; but interesting story, on how he got there? Lori is stunning just as in her other movies and Keanu adds that spice to make it all a awesome movie. The plot is good Keanu suffers in the movie but just when I taught he wouldn't stay with the girl... whoops she turns out to like all the crazy mix up that has been going on. She thinks she was kidnapped??? After knowing the truth, her idea towards her hero changes radically; but then in the midst of that he becomes a hero again and well ends up with the stunning girl.

    I been watching some 80's movies lately I didn't taught this one would be as good as the rest turns out I ended up watching this movies with a thumbs up. I am a picky person but this movie nails it I love it!!!
