Admirable film.
... View MoreI cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.
... View MoreIt was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.
... View MoreAll of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
... View MoreI saw this movie when I was a little girl. As movies that appear on TV, most people don't remember a week later. This movie stood out in my mind, and years later, I found out that it was appearing on a cable channel. I immediately found a blank tape and taped the movie. One night, I mentioned it to my husband, and he asked to see the movie. It became a favorite with him, and we've watched it more than once.If you're looking for a good '80's movie, this is one to see. You'll see all the old stars that were in your favorite TV shows, and some stars that are still in movies and TV today, such as Matthew Perry, who currently stars on Friends.
... View MoreDance 'Till Dawn is a goofy prom movie surprisingly jam-packed with big stars and real laughs. A very young Alyssa Milano is funny and sweetly beautiful, fresh from "who's the Boss?"Kelsey Grammer is hilarious as a religious zealot determined to ruin his daughter's prom night. Matthew Perry turns in his best-ever acting performance as Christina Applegate's whipped boyfriend. This movie is very hard to find, but pester your video store to get it
... View MoreI saw this cheeseball as the Late Movie the other day. Like most things of the 80's, its fake, superficial, and predictable, but that's what makes its laughable. Still love those deep-throat be-bops and dodoots and "ohhhh. yeahhh"'s
... View MoreMotion picture companies weren't the only one's cashing in on the success of teen films. NBC tried it's hand at it as well. Some of the films included High School USA with Michael J. Fox, Poison Ivy once again with Fox, Combat High with Keith Gordon, Class Cruise with Billy Warlock, Crash Course with a host of many teen stars, and this little teen gem called Dance 'til Dawn.This film is not bad at all. It has many of the teen stars from the 80s and early 90s. Many notable adult stars make appearances as well, such as Alan Thicke and Kelsey Grammar. So that makes the film a watchable and enjoyable experience. Unlike many failed made for TV movie comedies, this one has lots of charm and heart. The writing is well done for a teen flick. I must've laughed lots during the film. I remember seeing this back in high school and 11 years later I still love it.By the way, here is a little bit of fascinating trivia. Some of the music for the film was written and performed by 80s one hit wonder Michael Sembello ("Maniac"). I didn't know that until the movie was on again this past weekend. Billy Morrisette makes a small appearance as a kid who works in the video store.NBC of course doesn't make TV movie teen comedies like this anymore. Still, if you can find this one in the video store by all means, give it a try. You can see what the Hollywood version of a high school prom is like.
