Writer’s Observation

What a great movie! You will be really happy that something like this one came out, juxtaposing life from the year 1987 vs. now. It is very well written, the acting is well and the dialogue is comical. The type of script had been to make effectively and the director and writers knocked it out in the park. It is such a really fun movie with some laughs and enlightened tension to keep most of the audience going right from its beginning.

It is expected that the movie will be funnier and it is. It is not really easy to make horror comedy and then this one made it in some places. The ending reveal part and some portions were funny. It is being guess that there might be a sequel for this movie, since the 80’s edition of the adult casts were so freaking great. Their lead actress and their high school mom really stole the show the whole time. What a really fun movie!!!
