Veronica...I've actually seen the movie...I like it. I love Suzanna, and that certainly helps, but regardless.....I'm a fan. I don't have an official release DVD, so I aim to get one. I say take the plunge!

Susanna Hoffs and Dedee Pfeiffer, one of the prettiest duos in movie history. Joan Cusack great as always. The surfer dudes John Terlesky and James Shanta were cool. Michael Ontkean, a former student back in the neighborhood. Funny Phil Brock as Brad, "In 6 months you´re gonna be banging on my door". Bradford Bancroft as the crazy bartender (Hoffs had the guts to drink his booze ) Pam Grier as a policewoman, now that was a surprise! Those beautiful prostitutes and finally Max Perlich in a ten second role.
Love the locations, the Shangri-la, the beach, the hotel. I also love the fashion.
The soundtrack was very good. Two great I-Ten dudes Steinberg/Kelly penned tunes (Boomerang and Ronnie Spector/Susanna Hoffs) Mike + The Mechanics, Timbuk 3 etc.

Watching this right now...About ready to turn it off, just can't get into it. Susanna Hoffs and Joan Cusack are good in it, and it was cool to see Michael Ontkean in something else (I know him from Twin Peaks), but the story isn't doing anything for me.

Yeah so I got around to watching it. Who recommended this? Pretty bad movie I thought. 3/10.

Look Bernie, I'm cool with being on your hit list, but I only started the thread because I'm a fan of The Bangles and Susanna Hoffs. I don't endorse the film .. it is lacking overall in my opinion. Hoffs is a cutie .. but even she isn't enough to make me want to own it.
I'm starting to feel like Mark Kendall from "Once Bitten" after winning for best costume:
"But I'm not wearing a costume! geez!"

Suzanna is so cute...I could watch her in anything. I haven't bought this DVD yet....but I'm sooooo going to!
I'm in welcome company aTomiK....besides.....I'm convinced Lomax is an eleven year old kid with a decent vocabulary....I'm sure the two of us could take him!

Ok. I got this from Netflix but only made it through about 30 mins or so. I can't believe that I liked this movie back in the day. It's boring and flat. Cool clothes and all but there's not much there to keep my interest.

yeah..i made it about 15 mins once into this film. Apparently I do not hold as strong of an infatuation with Hoffs that I once thought I did to make it through this mess of a movie.
