Like, Totally Shut the Back Door!  This movie was awesome.  It was so funny and, of course, I wanted to sign along with every single song.  I was not expecting it to be as funny as it was.  Oh how I loved the 80s! 

Okay, I have to look at this objectively.  Despite the fact that the movie totally made me relive my junior and high school days (oh Eric Pugh and Jason Vanlandingham, where did you guys go I wonder), I have to look at this as a movie critic would.  NOT!!!!  It's fun, it's silly, it's funny, it makes you want to dance your socks off.  Tom Cruise was friggin hilarious!   I just saw Bret Michael's in concert too - made me laugh even harder.  Come on - that HAD to be based off of him!

Anyway, see this movie, especially if you're my age!

Favorite Quotes:
Drew:  "I'm in a boy band."
Sherrie:  "Ok, you win."

  1. You should revise your quote.
    Sherrie: I'm a stripper at The Venus Club!
    Drew: I'm In a boy band.
    Sherrie: Ok, you win.

    Totally cheesy, but a lot of fun. I heart the 80's.

    1. It was a ton of fun! Yes, wasn't sure if she just said "I'm a stripper." or if it was "I'm a stripper at the Venus Club"
