Todd Solondz's first movie. Solondz was so unhappy with this experience of working with a film studio that he left the industry for 5 years, and didn't return until he had the opportunity to do Welcome to the Dollhouse.
Despite Solondz's sentiments, it's not a bad movie at all, just a lot goofier than his later output, and rooted in some of the tropes of the time, and the dark humor makes it feel more like a satire of 80s romcoms in retrospect.
Solondz will not allow the movie to be re-released, so the only sources are the original VHS release. I took a few different rips and combined the one with the best video with the audio from another. I used Doine TV to clean up and upscale the output to look a bit better on Youtube, and did a little bit of color correction to compensate for the video transfer. Proabably as good as it gets unless someone goes through the considerable expense and effort of transferring a film reel.
