  One of the best 80's films
  
  Funny, tear jerking, crass and cringe worthy - one of the best films of the 80's. Watch it to feel nostalgic if you actually enjoyed the 80's like me... read more »

  A good attention grabber
  
  A good film - that just overstays it's welcome...and the final scenes are a bit trite.But in general a well acted and well produced film and worth a look.
