About

You may like this if you enjoy silly, quote-filled comedies with laid-back energy and rock music vibes; Not for you if you need a tightly plotted story or polished, modern humor, and you might also like Airheads or Saturday Night Live.

Pros: goofy charm; quotable humor; likable leads | Cons: predictable plot; uneven jokes; feels dated
