80's MONTH: "HIDING OUT"

Completely unrealistic 80's cheese at its finest. None of these characters exist in reality and the scenarios would never happen in real life. The acting is bad, the story is ridiculous, but damn, it is still enjoyable. John Cryer of "Pretty in Pink" plays a stock broker brought to court to testify against the mob. Through a series of crazy events he ends up hiding out as a high school student.

It may not be up there with the classic teen flicks, but this lost gem brings the 80s flavor. John Cryer does the best he can, even if he is involved in a creepy love interest with an underage girl. For all it's faults, the movie flows and kept me entertained. I can't give it a great rating, but there is no way I could give it a bad one, even if it is a bad movie. This is a must for obscure 80's cheesiness lovers.
