Overview
In the summer of 1987, a college graduate takes a 'nowhere' job at his local amusement park, only to find it's the perfect course to get him prepared for the real world.
This was a rare gem – a sweet, funny comedy about some kids trapped between childhood and adulthood. I was shocked at how good this film was. It is sad that films like this get passed over by the likes of Napoleon Dynamite and Knocked Up.
