A Comedy About Teens (and Grown-Ups) At the Drive In Theatre

I take pictures of Drive In Theatres so I mainly got this movie to see the Drive In Theatre that was shown in this movie. This was filmed at The Terrell Drive In. A small suburb outside of Dallas Texas. Some or most of the actors are I believe local folks from around the area. Some real good footage of the Terrell Drive In not to long before it was closed. But after watching this movie, I thought it was really a cute and funny show. Very enjoyable! There is romance, a little Mild gang violence, and a little slapstick type comedy. Just some kids, and "big kids" having a time at the Drive In. The movie showing at the Drive In is "Disaster '76". A spoof somewhat like that of "Airplane". So this is somewhat a movie within a movie. If you get the opportunity, have a look. I think you will enjoy it. I've watched it 4 times already and I've only had the video for 3 months!! Enjoy!
