I love this movie and have been trying to find it on DVD, but unfortunately I haven't found it. I thought it was a fun movie and the girls finding out what it's really like right out of high school. They do come in contact with some shady people, but manage to find some friends in the long run. Once they leave the dude ranch it's onto the cabin and a very crazy fun loving neighbor. There's a lot of fun and games in this movie and even more laughter when they get jobs at the casino. But, when Roscoe enters their life a lot of things go off track from their fun vacation. They figure out how to escape the clutches of Roscoe and save their new friend Talia.

This movie is terrible. From what I gather it was never even released. I happened to be shown this by what I thought was a friend. He picked up the VHS tape in a trash bin. Well, that was 91 minutes of my life wasted. Uggh. The soundtrack is really bad. Marisa and Courtney try to the best they can with a crappy script and even worse co-actresses. The story goes nowhere and you just don't really care what happens. Watching that one actress dance around with lipstick and some stupid wig made me cringe. She gives a creepy little troll vibe. I guess this was made in the 80's when anyone thought they could make a movie on the cheap and pump it to the public. This one is so bad, they couldn't apparently get anyone to even release it. Don't waste your time.

I never saw this movie when it first came out, but probably when I was a freshman in high school in the mid 90s. While it doesn't have the best plot ever, my girlfriends and I watched that movie a lot. It's a little cheesy but it's emphasis is on the friendship of three girls. And they support each other despite flaws and arguments and problems that arise. It's a coming of age movie, that has fairly unknown actresses as main characters, a storyline that's a little unbelievable, but it can be a good chick flick for girls who aren't harsh critics, who can appreciate the very 80s look of the movie, and who can relate to the on the verge of womanhood vibe this movie has. So, while others don't like it, I still consider it one of my favs to come out of the 80s, and a good coming of age movie.

Long before the platinum records, though i did have a few gold ones, I wrote and sang a song for this fun film. It has a giant cult following and still is picking up new young fans. Now, two of the girls are stars, so i still get royalty checks, 20 years later. Fun to see what i did at 17, still alive and well. this film is no "breakfast club", but what is? this is a cute, fun, innocent 80's teen flick. it is very well done and had a good budget. 3 teenage girls out for a summer adventure. it is not meant to be taken seriously and you will enjoy it as long as you are not expecting peter o'toole doing Shakespeare. if you find an old record or the foreign video, i would die, and pay to have it in my collection. Sit back and clear your mind and enjoy not having to worry about plot twists or who gets the girl. sometimes we need to simply have fun, and this movie is fun as well as silly, just as the director meant it to be. please do not contact me to ask my "celeb" name. i am on the IMDb under my birth name which i only use for celebrity audio projects i do for charity and this, my first film credit. boy, my grandparents were happy to see my name ;-) cheers, craig braginsky
