Section: Open Air - Giorgio Moroder
Is it hokey and overplayed? Absolutely, that's part of the fun. Nouri and Beals have great chemistry, giving their scenes together heat and honesty. If you're too young to remember the 80s, watch this flick. The art direction, costumes and music can only have come from that decade. These aspects of the film are somewhat laughable now, but they were on the cusp of cool then . . . A decent romance trapped in a time warp of outrageousness. www.crazy4cinema.com
