I thought this looked like fun. The poster is cool and the trailer looks good. If anything, it will probably have a great soundtrack!

Could be cute, and you can't go wrong with Topher Grace.

Barrybgb · 12-31-2010, 09:30 AM

Topher is great. He reminds me of Michael J. Fox in a way. They both have great comedic delivery.

I look forward to this one. In the trailer, it looks like there might be some Hughes-ian teen drama in there as well.

Hee, I didn't know you liked him.

Oh good! I'd hate it if they got this movie wrong.

Barrybgb · 01-01-2011, 10:10 AM

Yeah, I like him. Topher is pretty cool.

**Melis** · 01-01-2011, 12:08 PM

Yay! He's so underrated.

Barrybgb · 01-02-2011, 10:16 AM

He is. We need to see more of him.

**Melis** · 01-02-2011, 11:59 AM

I think that Topher tends to choose quality instead of quantity. I like that about him.

Barrybgb · 01-03-2011, 09:28 AM

Yeah, that's cool. Hopefully, this will have the "quality" part.

**Rainstorm Jenny** · 01-06-2011, 02:23 PM

This looks like a good movie! And yes Melis, Topher Grace is

**Melis** · 01-07-2011, 05:24 PM

I wouldn't think Topher would sign up for something that wasn't quality.

**Melis** · 03-06-2011, 03:15 PM

I can't wait to see! I heard about all the Coke in the movie! Uh Oh!

I'm really looking forward to this movie. I only hope it's like the great 80's movies.

Barrybgb · 03-07-2011, 10:18 AM

Sadly, the movie is a big bomb. Debuted at #9 with only $3.5 million over the weekend.

**Melis** · 03-07-2011, 04:54 PM

Yeah, Kimber, I hope it's true to the 80s.

Bummer, Barry. People just have no appreciation for the 80s. What was it up against?
