TRIPE, PURE AND SIMPLE Calling this movie terrible is an understatement. Who the heck is Robbie Benson? Judging by this movie, in which he stars, co writes, co produces and composes it's all too obvious why you haven't heard of him. The 'barber shop' folk song at the beginning will have you ejecting your lunch, you almost wish Jason Voorhees would show up and hack him to pieces. I've seen a lot of lousy movies in my time. This ranks as one of the worst.
A Trip Back to when movies were just light-hearted, pure fun I remember seeing this when I was very young, and for some reason the memory of this movie never left me. Seeing it for the first time in twenty years, I now can say why that is. For one, it is just pure and simple fun. And two, Robbie Benson's hilarious dead-on slap stick. Most importantly though, are the songs. WHY WAS THERE NO SOUNDTRACK FOR THIS FILM EVER PRINTED? Could it be that Benson's film suffered from very poor advertising, and pompous critics? Obviously! You can tell that Robbie really put his heart into this movie. His original music will stick in your ears long after the credits roll, causing you too to wonder why this music exists only within the confines of this video tape. Robbie was obviously expecting more, and it is a shame the studios didn't do enough part to bring that vision to light. Linda Grovenor gives a charming performance alongside Benson, and her screen presence is reminiscent of Carrie Fisher. If you enjoy a good, fun, '80's style romp, this one is for you.
