The best of cheesy 80's flics!
28 June 1999 | by (Cedar Rapids, Iowa) – See all my reviews

I loved this movie - I've seen it probably a hundred times. Besides the all-star cast of Sarah Jessica Parker, Helen Hunt, Shannen Doherty and Jonathan Silverman - it's just a fun movie! The dancing is good - the music is fun! I just love it!!!
