A film starring Richard Dreyfuss, Ron Howard, Paul Le Mat and Charles Martin Smith (Universal, 1973).

Four teenage friends stay out all night.

C (Indifferent).

I can see how it's a classic; it's an extremely imitated movie. A few of those imitations are even good movies. But I don't get the appeal of this one. Is it a nostalgia thing? (Nostalgia for what was only 10 years ago when this came out? It's weird, having grown up in the 90's when everything was Boomer Nostalgia 24/7, to realize pop culture could be nostalgic for something so recent.)

An ordinary duck man from a planet of duck people is teleported to Cleveland.

2/4 (Indiffernt).

I almost like this movie. It's weird, and it leans into it's own dumbness (possibly not intentionally). But the third act is boring, and the dialog is so bad.

Es la última noche del verano de 1962, y los adolescentes de Modesto (California) quieren divertirse antes de afrontar sus responsabilidades como adultos. Así que todos salen esa noche para beber, ligar, pasearse en coche, ir a la bolera o bailar un rato... (FILMAFFINITY)
