The 1960s. Four youths journey to Tijuana in search of fun. They are Tom Cruise, Jackie Earle Haley (an energetic performance), John Stockwell (Christine) and John P Navin Jr, who turns out out be the smartest one (National Lampoon's Vacation). They also pick up housewife Shelley Long, and attract the attentions of the local police Henry Darrow, mechanic Hector Elias and a marine Rick Rossovich. Nobody's debut - of the kids, Haley had had the longest career.
Written by Bill Norton and Bryan Gindoff, it's a touch above the normal teen jinks crap, rather fun, though the fight scenes are rather crudely managed.
