Rated PG-13
Starring Marcello Conte, Helena Seabrook, John Hannah, Lea Thompson, Susan Sarandon
Written and Directed by Michael Tully
The Story:
Radical Miracle (Conte) is going on a coming of age summer adventure with his sister (Seabrook) and parents (Thompson & Hannah). Something is going to make this his greatest summer ever...
But I was so bored and uninterested in the film after 10 minutes, I took it out and mailed it back.
Had I known it was streaming on Amazon Prime, I could have saved the mailman the trouble of moving this disc across the miles.
Michael Tully is officially on my list of directors to not bother with.
The film was painfully unfunny, not dramatic, not really anything at all.
When the greatest part of the movie is using Casey Kasem's American Top 40 to hear a long-distance dedication, it's time to move on.
Also shot to be grainy to "look and feel" like an 80s film, it only serves to undercut whatever you're trying to make as a finished product.
80s movies may have been grainy, but the best are revered classics, the worst are cringe-worthy cult classics or so bad they're cheesy good.
This film is none off those.
Final Grade: D-
