amusing 80's movie
7 June 2000 | by (Missouri) – See all my reviews

Midnight Madness is a fun, silly movie that details a scavenger hunt through the city of Los Angeles one night. There's nothing serious about this film, but I didn't mind that and was able to watch the movie all the way through (always a good sign). You can see MIchael J. Fox in a very early role here and the others do an adequate job. I wouldn't go buy this, but if it's on tv or you're looking for a silly comedy to rent, go for it.
