Short plot
summary |
|
Last
day of High School, seniors picking on Freshers, drinking beer smoking pot driving
cars seeing girls. A feel good movie. |
What our
panel of critics thought |
"Back
to those long hot summer days of 1976. Oh me oh my. Parties at parents house.
Kegs of beer being delivered out front. Those long hangovers the next day. Vomiting
all over the dog. Those were the days.""There's
nothing like good psychological torture followed by bat on butt torture of 11
year olds to make an old cynical hack happy.""Back
to a world where coach is once again the most important person in your life. Oh
to be a jock at High School again." "Attitude
adjustment schmuchment.""Why
1976?" "A
pleasant flick. A movie in which one can check out the brain and know everything
will turn out OK, or, if not OK, not tragically not OK.""Bares
comparison with the great James Dean movies in that it is nothing like them whatsoever.
In Dean's films there was always the outside chance he would die violently. In
this movie there is never any chance anyone will die, it is simply a car ride
of harmlessness. That's not totally bad.""Everything
but the Jell-O wrestling that I've heard so much about.""Busting
11 year olds by smacking their asses with a bat. Those were the good old days,
before those mutts had rights and sued for abuse.""A
young Ben Affleck before anyone thought he could play the romantic lead. He busts
ass. Then a tin of paint falls on his head - bested by 11 year olds, the ass smacking
is no more.""A
veritable cornucopia of flipping of beer bottle caps. Magnificent control and
yet is this a metaphor of how swiftly time slips through ones fingers, down ones
arms and stains ones shirt so that one has to throw it out like the rest of ones
early life?... What happened to the beer mat flipping? I was quite good at that." |

Quotable quotes (real) |
|
"Did
you order some kegs of beer? There's a guy out on the street with some beer kegs
who said you did." "Did
any of you guys know anything about a party here tonight?" ... "No"
"No," uh no." |
What exotic
cocktail would complement this movie? |
A
gin twister, with an extra twist of tortoise milk. |
Could this
be made into a children's cartoon show? |
Pretty
much like TV series Malibu would look if it was on after 9 o'clock but with a
side line of butt slapping with bats. |
If
a character from this film were to be asked on to Montel what would the heading
of the show be? |
Teenage
suicide - My butt smacking years |
