Back in the day........


Back in the day when it was in the theaters, it was considered too adult for anyone under the age of 18 so I didn't get to see it then. This movie always stuck out in my memories over the years. Out of some random thought, I looked on amazon and bought the dvd; I dont understand what the big deal was. It was a sort of comming of age movie to me; like several others I remember seeing. A lot of the movie seems to have been filmed around Pamona california. Its a real treat to see some of the old buildings and stores in the movie that don't exist anymore. I remember some of the old stores as such. I still can't determine if the graveyeard at the end of the movie is in san bernardino or riverside. To me, It was a nastalgic movie that is a treat to have. Meager story line with modest acting. Thank you Jodi Foster and company for the memories of a place that only exists in my memories now.

Yeah, it had an R rating I recall, because my older sister and I weren't even teenagers when we wanted to see this movie. Our brother got turned away when he tried to get in. Sis and I hovered around the theatre and finally got up the nerve to purchase tickets. I don't know why the ticket lady let us in. LOL. She must've felt sorry for us standing outside, to scared to go in. It was a great movie for an 11 year old. I loved it.

A lot of the more notorious movies from back then are pretty tame. Airplane! and Fast Times at Ridgemont High immediately come to mind... Animal House and Caddyshack are two more....
