Big, color production, let down by being a stupid comedy. Songwriters Morgan and Cole decide to listen to records backwards, transcribe them, and pass them off as new songs. Nicole is the ingénue who changed her name back to Demongeot after this. Aging Heath is the teen’s favorite band and they all swoon for drippy Lotis, which shows how out of touch this is.
