And curse the covering of songs, the plot and everything. Let's not forget that this is one of the few 80s movies where the characters are seem to be singing and not have the songs in the background. OK, the songs aren't 80s songs (well neither were the songs from Dirty Dancing, Fame, or Footloose), the vocals people say are terrible (urm can you guys sing yourself? And how can you take a swipe at Britta Phillips who took the lead in Mr. Big Stuff)...The plot is weak but so are the plots of Footloose and well Dirty Dancing. Love pairing? What's wrong with Nesson and Bateman? Everyone who criticises this movie seems to think they know it all and can direct movies or choose the right songs.

The Girls fall in and out of love, The music rocks but the singing never dies it just moves on! The summer seems to have flown by and not everyone wants to leave! Separating stinks, but the girls head for home.
... View MoreI first watched it in 89 when I was a preteen. Just saw it again on DVD and still think it's pretty awesome. DVD picture quality isn't the greatest but all that teen angst is awesome and Justine Bateman still rocks. Was a bit surprised to see Julia Roberts who I had no recollection of but Liam Neeson is probably the reason I ended up living in Europe. That accent!!I'd definitely recommend it if you just want to kick back, relax. Watch some big 80s hair and funny girl band stuff. The other cast members are pretty cool too although not as memorable. Couldn't get over Julia Roberts in this movie dressed similarly to the way she was dressed in Pretty Woman.I loved it and definitely recommend it for feel good flash backs.
... View MoreThe band is slightly better than terrible, but it was hard to take my eyes off Justine.Two things I liked about this movie, the relationship the girl had with the dog, and the love story between Justine and Liam Neeson.Probably the only movie that will ever be made where Justine Bateman gets higher billing and a bigger role than Julia Roberts, but she deserved it, and Julia was horrible. Wonder what ever became of Julia Roberts?The plot was lousy, and most of the acting was amateurish. But because of Justine Bateman's smile, I gave two more stars than I would otherwise, 6/10.
