This is a bad movie, but for some reason it's fun to watch. Seeing Corey Feldman with long hair doing a bad Michael Jackson impression is hilarious. The songs are actually pretty decent. If there was a soundtrack released to this film, I'd definitely like to get it, just as a guilty pleasure. I LOVE the original film, and this one in no way even holds a candle to it. There is a slight nod to the original in Jesse Davis's (Corey Feldman) room - there's a Ramones poster on the wall. This movie basically personifies the early 90s - that odd transition from the 80s where we didn't know quite where the new decade would take us. This film is directly from that odd period. There's even foreshadowing of things to come: Stella's look developed into "goth;" Namrock revived the Asian action genre; Madison served as an inspiration to the reincarnation of the Beasty Boys - okay, not really. Clint Howard is the ONLY person that should ever play Eaglebaur. Mojo Nixon's scene was unnecessary and INCREDIBLY corny. The stuff that happens to the preppies is funny, because they kind of get what they deserve. Let's face it, this movie is a decent waste of an hour and a half and is remotely entertaining if you have the time to kill. You might find yourself laughing although you'd never admit to it amongst friends. Even Mary Woronov coming back should count for something. Oh yeah, Nichole, I want my copy back you backstabbing (explative deleted)!!
