Does anyone know or remember this one?. It was one I was only vaguely aware of back in the day, but watched it last night for the first time since, well, the 80's. I love it!.

It stars C. Thomas Howell(The Outsiders, The Hitcher, Soul Man), Lori Loughlin(Back To The Beach, Full House), Kelly Preston(Twins, Mischief, Mrs. John Travolta), Dee Wallace Stone(E.T., Cujo), Fred Ward(Remo Williams, Tremors), and a few others.

It's about Michael(Howell)and how he gets a letter from a secret admirer claiming their love for him. This letter then falls into all the wrong hands and chaos ensues. His father, mother, girl he likes, her parents, etc. It all gets intertwined and so on. Don't want to say too much.

It's a pretty decent 80's film and I wished I had re-discovered it sooner. The music was done by Jan Hammer, who I believe did the Miami Vice music.

I remember a long time ago seeing this movie, it was really cute.

It is. Like I said before, I just re-discovered it. I think it's an overlooked, underrated 80's film.

Yes it is, one of those b-rated films but still good.

I hadn't seen it since the 80's!. Lol. No, it's not at the top of my list, but that's only because there are so many!. It's really good all on it's own.

This is a good movie, I found it going through the vhs tapes, apparently my parents had recorded it back in the 80's. I'm so glad that they did cause it's a great 80's movie.
