As a teen of the eighties I have always known about this film but somehow I never got around to watching it.


Watching it now is like a trip back in time and it is pretty typical of movies of the time. It's actually quite a good movie with an original story, which you don't get very often nowadays. There are no stand out acting performances but the movie does suck you in and has a decent ending that makes you think.

If you want to watch a fun family friendly movie, you can't go much wrong with this one. I enjoyed it.
