Underrated and Very Funny!
2 June 2002 | by (b'ville nj) – See all my reviews

One of several 80's comedies that are still fresh today, and one of my favorites. Patrick Dempsey (as Randy) showed some amazing talent in this film and played the role perfectly. I had forgotten the film was released in '89; it has the spirit of many of the films from earlier that decade but without much of the trashiness and better writing.
