CLASSIC MOVIE OF ALL TIME, 8 January 2001
10/10
Author: VILMER-2 from Windsor, CANADA

The first time I saw this it was about 4 in the morning and I wasn't all there. It was insanely cheesy and funny at the same time. Bad acting, bad music equals CLASSIC MOVIE! I have been looking to buy a copy of this movie but it is IMPOSSIBLE to find. This movie captures summer perfectly. Steve and Greg have an unforgettable time throughout the movie and you get a good feeling after watching it! I find myself watching this movie alot because it is a CLASSIC!! The soundtrack is amazing also!
