Fun Stuff

Goofs:
Revealing mistakes: When pulling the '57 Chevy out of the trailer it is red with the insert on the rear painted white. In the car wash when the guy is using a rag on the side its easy to see that the insert is now the aluminum used on the Bel-air. more

Skip It If You Can., 5 December 2003
3/10
Author: xavrush89 from Illinois, U.S.A.

This film has been receiving a lot of play lately during the day on either HBO or Cinemax. The reason is that they are assuming people would be interested in comparing it to the Leonardo DiCaprio/Tom Hanks caper of the same name. The only reason to see it is for the attractive Matt Lattanzi. Yum! Although I must say Matt was more than a little long in the tooth to be playing a high schooler. If he were a woman, they'd have had him playing the MOTHER of a high schooler! (Is is just me, or is his daughter starting to look like Shelley Duvall?) Oh yeah, the plot--who cares? Typical teen highjinx played by adults.
