Review of One Crazy Summer (1986) by Mirah W — 17 Feb 2008

I love John Cusack in this movie...and lots of the other cast are wonderful. The grandma and the little girl with her dog are awesome! It's a great 80s movie about teen love!

Its a cute comedy, but can't quite compare to Better Off Dead. Also Demi Moore is a TERRIBLE Lip syncher…
