This film was obviously made on a shoestring, because of the limited number of locations and no special effects. However, the charming actors, strong script with a real STORY for once, IE., sub-plot, character arcs, etc more than make up for any budget limitations. And for the skin freaks, there is no augmentation -- girls back then didn't need a boost in the chest to lift their self esteem. The film has no malice, which is not true for many teen comedies today. The extras on the DVD are great; a photo featurette; directors commentary, and the New York auditions round out a nostalgic look into 80's film-making that still holds up real well.
