    This is not a good movie. This is not even a well-made movie. But, it is a classic 80s comedy that still holds up 40 years later.

    Absolutely adore this film. Used to watch it to death as a kid. They don't make em like this anymore. Quirky humor that's actually funny and keeps it's soul

    No idea why this has such a high rating. It’s not even a fun 80s movie. It’s disjointed, to say the least. It starts out extremely slow and honestly really boring. The South Park parody is the only reason I looked this up and SP was a way better use of my time.

    Oozing with 80's visual comedy. In the future, Shia LaBeouf may have borrowed from Cusack's character in this movie.

    One of the 80s top classics. "THIS IS PURE SNOW!!" lol Love it. These days though, It would be nice to be able to edit a great film and just remove any actors that turned out to be horrific people, even if it appears the other actors are interacting with dead air, I wouldn't mind at all. 5 star film, a must see.

    This is one of my favorite movies ever because it encompasses every teenage daydream as well as every teenage nightmare in the perfect example of an 80s out-of-pocket comedy movie

    This movie is great. Nostalgia. Sorry I'm tired. But it's definitely a classic borderline um.... cult? In my book. I was born in 88 but my oldest of my three older brothers is ten years older than me so I was introduced to many 80s movies early on. This one ranks top spot for me. Even though my parents let me, young girl back then, watch Total Recall, to which I had Doug (Arnold) on my birthday cake at my preschool. Even though he blabbed about Mars. What a time back then...

    One of my all time favorite comedies. Can’t wait to watch it again and again.
