Not a bad little film, if you're looking for a bit of 1982 nostalgia. Several reviewers have said this movie doesn't feel like the '80s, but they're wrong. The '70s didn't end at the stroke of midnight, 1980. We didn't immediately get rid of our '70s cars and start driving those tiny BMWs, wearing Ocean Pacific, and sporting Vans. Those things took time to catch on, and while they certainly became part of what people think of as "the Eighties," they weren't exactly ubiquitous in '82. It took a few years for the polyester to go away, and this film captures the moment. It all looked familiar to me. Nicely done.

Early 80s, summertime in Long Island
That song the guy sings to the girl is atrocious.
The song the dude sings for the girl that he wrote the night before is absolutely terrible. Whom ever actually wrote it should not have access to music and recording equipment.
Everything is wrong
First of all, i wouldn't cast Carly Brooke anymore. She breaks camera all the time. Possibly too much Instagram. Secondly mostly everybodys hair and makeup is all wrong and people behave unauthentic all of the time. The 80s have a very easy to grasp and strict set of rules. Camerawork is terrible to say the least. Script is leading nowhere, like streetside stream. People don't relate and don't connect, emotional arc is sub-par. This movie has like one good, but useless actor and a few potentially nice shots that were just wasted. Props look like stuff from a scrapyard. Actors have no idea how to handle them, producers have no idea how to feature them. Choice of music screams "we had no budget". This movie should not have been made and you should not watch it. It is boring, adds nothing to the 80s legacy and leads nowhere. 1 of 10. Please don't try again.
