An attempt to recapture the essence of other
teen-orientated movies of the 1980's, taking place at a house party to celebrate high school graduation, with unlikely teenage couples falling in love.Â
Unfortunately, many of the characters are irritating or
unlikeable, the comedy doesn't have an identity and the soundtrack has an abundant obsession with turgid Barry Manilow songs.Â
It's just not American Graffiti.
