One Crazy Summer
"A zesty, hot weather tonic. A laff riot." -Kevin Thomas, Los Angeles Times
Hoops McCann has the name but not the talent to carry on the family basketball tradition. He'd rather earn an art school scholarship by writing and illustrating a love story. This summer in Nantucket he's going to get the necessary romantic experience.
John Cusack (as Hoops), Demi Moore, Curtis Armstrong and Bobcat Goldthwait headline the zany comedy One Crazy Summer. The annual Nantucket regatta sets the stage for Hoop's bid to earn his lady's love and a larcenous land developer's party sets the stage for an attack by Godzilla (as only Goldthwait can play him). Overworked and under-vacationed? Join one crazy cast for One Crazy Summer and soak up some laughs.

This was another classic summertime beach 80’s movie which leaves you rooting for the underdogs. I would definitely highlight one of the Stork brothers, played by the peculiar Bobcat Goldthwait which allowed for tons of laughs! Also the ongoing animation was a clever addition showing the main character’s (Hoops) vision of reality manifested through his drawings. Hoops McCann played by John Cusack is a recent high school graduate and instead of getting the basketball scholarship to satisfy his parent’s wishes, he has his own dream of getting into design school and becoming a cartoonist. The application process involves writing and illustrating a love story which Hoops doesn’t know where to even begin since he’s never experienced anything close to it. So after an invite to the island of Nantucket in hopes that the creative juices will flow, all the crazy adventures that occur prove to be the inspiration that he needs to start the next chapter of his life.Not Quite Better off Dead. - Padre_Hypnos
Savage Steve Hollands follow up to the Classic Better Off Dead is funny and strange like its predecessor but doesn't quite work as well. Typical misfit teen vs rich jock in rich jock's specialty sport type plot line. Features Bobcat Goldthwait in a Godzilla suit. Probably Demi Moore's best performance.Wassamatta U - Neil1
Wassamatta Me? For sitting through this unadulterated piece of trash. Wanna see some early John Cusack and Demi Moore? This is the movie for you. Hard to imagine how either one of them managed to work again. I don't know about 'chemistry' but they certainly seemed to deserve each other.
