Sure, it had some funny quotes, and the best use of Curtis Armstrong* with the exceptions of "Risky Business," "Moonlighting," and, uh, the first "Revenge of the Nerds." But there was just some really stupid shit in that movie. The Claymation interlude at the burger shop? The rocket launching out of the garage at the end? Ricky's mom blowing up? All of the scenes with Lane's mom, esp. the one with the Christmas outfits? Pure shit.

This is one '80s comedy that does not stand repeated watching.

*Younger board members might not know this man, but he's the guy who made Jeremy Piven's career possible.

I want my $2.
