About
You may enjoy this if you like chaotic 80s teen comedies with a weird, dreamlike streak and a scrappy VHS feel; Not for you if dated stereotypes and messy, mean-spirited humor quickly ruin the fun.
Pros: strong 80s nostalgia; goofy late-night energy; likable lead performance | Cons: uneven humor; messy plot; dated, offensive stereotypes
