  not too bad
  
  this films storyline was good, but a bit pervy for my liking, if you like sexy stuff and naked women then go for it.
  
  otherwise music was canny

  outdated poor rated
  
  An 80s nostalgia film that makes you wonder how he came to be a leading Hollywood actor, but bearable for a Friday night in with a takeaway.

  Get Down To Business
  
  Juvinile teen feature which heads down all too familiar lines; it did however help send it's young star on to the hollywood A list.
