After finding out that his parents are unable to finance his trip to Europe a recent College grad is stuck at home for the summer working a minimum wage theme park job. There he meets Em.

• This movie is set in the 80's and I love all of the old songs that were featured in the soundtrack.
• James is this awkward, funny, nerdy and very likable guy. He is the kind of guy that girls should want but often don't because their too busy chasing after the cool, rich guy.
• A great real movie about real people. I could identify with a lot of the characters.
• The clothes and the hair are very bad of course because it is 1987 but other then that the movie was great.
