It's an excellent film. Saw it on the big screen when it was released.

I've heard of it but have never seen it. I'll have to see if my library has it.

I love that flick. The kids in it really behaved and spoke like kids I knew at the time. Great acting, too. A shame most of the stars didn't go on to greater heights than they did.

Both Matt Dillon and Adam Baldwin did well for a while.

Great movie....too Chris Makepeace's career didn't take off.....I remember he was reduced to doing shlock like New World's "Vamp" where Grace Jones was the vampire.

Vamp is an excellent horror-comedy. And you can tell he(And the other cast members) had a great time working on the film from their DVD audio commentary.
