Bangles vocalist Susanna Hoffs is Molly, the valedictorian at a Pacific college who realizes on the eve of graduation that she didn't get around to a significant college romance for all her schoolwork. Setting out to remedy the situation, she embarks on a last minute fling with a faded 60's rock star (Michael Ontkean). Meanwhile her pretty blonde roommate, Val (Dedee Pfeiffer) has an affair with a yuppie, and spunky, witty friend Gina (Joan Cusack) records their shenanigans for posterity with a video camera. Director/co-screenwriter Tamar Simon Hoffs, who attempt to recreate the spirit of 1960's beach film, is star Susanna's mother. [More]

Mrs. Hoffs should not make jokes about film making.

I had a HUGE crush on Susanna Hoffs when this came out, and I still ended up hating the movie.

Tacky 80's cheese directed by the leading lady's own mother.

Hard to say what this is really, except maybe an inadvertent documentary on child abuse.

A perfectly dreadful film whose chief selling point is that it's the first starring role for Bangles lead singer Susanna Hoffs and that the director is none other than Mom, Tamar Simon Hoffs.
