The 16 years old amateur photographer Charles accidentally takes a photo of Laura - and falls in love with her, when he develops the picture. He finds out that she works as singer in a bar, but is about to be thrown out. Although rejected at first by the 23 years old, he wants to help her and starts an ad campaign behind her back... with unexpected results. The film was shot in Wilmington NC where they used the local school and locals as extras. It was one of the first movies made there at the film studio.i worked in the wardrobe department. It was a lot of fun. Working with so many young actors. Hope you enjoy watching it as much as we enjoyed making it.

When youthful Boston stockbroker Jon Cryer (as Andrew Morenski) is called to testify against a mobster, he is targeted by hit men. Narrowly escaping their gunfire, Mr. Cryer decides to disguise himself. He shaves his beard, gets two-tone hair, and changes clothing. Cryer goes to seek help from his suburban high school-aged cousin Keith Coogan (as Patrick Morenski), who first mistakes Cryer for a homosexual. Making full use of his juvenile grin, Cryer assumes the identity Maxwell "Max" Hauser, after a coffee container...Back in high school, Cryer reluctantly goes roller-skating with attractive Annabeth Gish (as Ryan Campbell) while Roy Orbison sings "Crying", but worries about a relationship due to their age difference. When it's time for a good-night kiss, Cryer pretends to be coming down with a cold, but Ms. Gish doesn't care. There are bigger concerns for Cryer and his new teen pals as the mob closes in... You will surely see how this film could have been better, but also note how nicely everyone does in spite of that - and go along for the ride.****** Hiding Out (11/6/87) Bob Giraldi ~ Jon Cryer, Keith Coogan, Annabeth Gish, Oliver Cotton

Being a child of the 80's, I enjoyed Hiding Out on several levels. I think that Annabeth Gish is a beautiful woman and love the way she smiles during this movie. She is lucky in the characters she played while a younger actress. She was a good actress then and she is a great one now. Jon Cryer is a good actor but he doesn't seem totally comfortable in this role. Perhaps that is a good thing, since he is a fish out of water character here. The high school kids were pretty believable, especially Keith Coogan. His is pretty much the same character from Adventures in Babysitting, just grown up now. This is pretty amazing since both movies came out in 1987.The ending is bit contrived but entertaining just the same. Hiding Out is a really good movie and worth the rental fee if you want some 80's nostalgia or too see something safe for the whole family. I have watched it numerous times and still look forward to seeing it again.

a great film a bit drematic for the most part but worth seeing all together. Done very well and in most cases very believable for the most part. However it seems that it was hard to beleive he was as old as he claimed to be but a great film
