    Disappointing

    I admit that I was only drawn into this movie because the description said it was set in 1984. This movie is nothing like movies from the 80s. If you're hoping to find a modern version of Sixteen Candles or any other Hughes-esque film do yourself a favor and look somewhere else. The ONLY good thing about this movie is the music. With only a few exceptions the acting is below average. The writing and directing is really bad.

    Very Nostalgic, highly recommend.

    If you're looking for a great 80's throwback this it! It reminded me a lot of SIXTEEN CANDLES and ONE CRAZY SUMMER. I highly recommend watching this movie if you grew up in the 80's, are a teen, or just want a good laugh while with friends. Great coming of age comedy all around, highly recommend!

    Oh yeah... good one here!

    For me, this movie had it all. Love it when the laughs are real and not forced. Dug the way the friends were cool to each other but also teased and joked around with each other. Seemed natural. Totally could relate with the kid and his family and pressure of not knowing what to do after high school. The guy who played the stoner was a riot! Jim Norton as the counselor was a bit much, but I gotta say, I laughed every time he was on screen. And whoa... the lead actress was smoking! Can't wait to see more of her! Recommended to a few buddies and they've all liked it. Give it a shot, you won't be disappointed.

    "Trout Camp"

    Average watch, might watch again, and can't recommend.

    This really should have been a great coming of age story similar to "American Pie", but it's mostly empty.

    While there is great character connection amongst the cast, and the story is actually a great concept of a guy torn between worlds, but I honestly don't feel like it has a point other than proposing philosophical quandry.

    Yes, there is some humor and decent production value, as well as plenty of multi-threading, however, I just didn't enjoy the movie much.

    Hopefully someone else does enjoy this.

    Better than you'd think

    This movie may not be destined to win awards and that's okay. I really enjoyed it. It is well-plotted and fairly well-cast. I think also to some degree it is the life story for many of us. It helps to love Big Country!
