I'll be honest; this film made me howl with laughter. It is actually better than most modern "comedies". Even though it is unintentionally funny, does it really make any difference if it makes you laugh for an hour? Eddie Crane is about as talented as Eddie Kranepool of the original Mets. His buddy Moony or Moody is not even high on drugs! He is just plain psychotic with his James Dean imitiation. Peter Dreck, I mean Breck, steals the film as Moody, who was trying out to be the 8th Dwarf in Snow White, but was rejected for being too violent. At one point Eddie says "I can't really believe all this is happening". Eddie, I couldnt agree with you more lol. A must see for those who never went to the drive-in. More cliches than a barrel of monkeys. * Not to be confused with an earlier version of Eddie and the Cruisers, Bruisers, Losers, and woozers.
