Simply A Masterpiece

Crappy film

Yo, there's no way for me to review this film without saying, take your *insert ethnicity + "ass" here* to see this film,like now. You have to see it in order to know what you're really messing with.

The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

This was my absolute favorite movie as a young teen. We taped it on our VCR and my sister and I watched it so much, and drove my mom so crazy with it, that my mom actually had to take it away from us.We pretty much had it memorized line for line...and when we quoted it, even stretched out our words when Margaret is talking to the guy in the video store...because our tape was so used it stretched out and slurred the words.We still refer to the movie sometimes. In fact, I know that we have some lingo that we use that came from the movie. I don't think I go through a fast food drive-through without remembering Shelly and Dan at the drive-through ordering all that food. It's a movie that has just really stuck with me as I've grown up.I'm 30 now and just ordered the DVD and can't wait to see it again -- it'll be like a reunion with old friends!!!

I have been desperately trying to find one of the songs that is played during the scene in the prom where Kevin McCrae and Angela Strull first walk in -- the song sounds like it is called "Ready For My Romeo". Does anyone know what the exact name of this song is or who the artist it? It does not appear on the credits. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks! Great lines: "That's Stanley LaMar! His locker's next to mine!"..... "Give you what, Wallace, any gum?"..... "They wanted to hear the long version of Freebird." "Well they certainly never heard one that long".....Get your coat Mother, we're going to the prom!"

You have to love Dance 'Til Dawn, it's just impossible not to. LOL What more could you want in an 80's teen movie? Granted it's not a John Hughes, but IMO it's a close second. It combines all the great "good wins in the end" elements of 80's flicks, with hideous fashions of the late 80's!! 1st you have the ugly duckling turned empowered beauty, then the dork that gets the hottest girl in school, the snob that looses it all, the lovers that reconnect, the soul-dead parents that come alive again, and the jerk that falls in love with his prey!I first saw this movie when it aired on Television in the late 80's and it was love at first view! However, during some teen angst period I taped over it with...who knows. As soon as it was re-released I bought a copy, and within the first two days of recieving it, I watched it 3 times. A little neurotic? yes. But it was well worth the $20 for all the memories it brought back.

This movie is pretty predictable, but I loved it anyway. It was fun to see all those actors from a variety of popular shows together in one movie, and the storyline was funny enough to be entertaining. I especially cheered at the end because the underdogs came out on top. It's good, clean, cheesy fun!
