“Upon seeing ONE CRAZY SUMMER for the first time many years ago, I wasnu0026#39;t very impressed with it. I thought it had some decent laughs, but I was overall disappointed. Then I saw this again movie last summer when it was on VH1 and my opinion instantly changed. I loved it. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIf there is one movie genre that really stuck out in the 1986, it was goofy comedies. From ARMED AND DANGEROUS to POLICE ACADEMY 3: BACK IN TRAINING, 1986 was full of wacky comedies. Perhaps the wackiest of them all, ONE CRAZY SUMMER, like all of Savage Steve Hollandu0026#39;s movies, is a classic. Hilariously insane and inventive and loaded with great lines, u0026#39;summeru0026#39; is John Cusacku0026#39;s best movie to date. According to a recent interview I read with Savage Steve Holland, Cusack really hates this movie as well as BETTER OFF DEAD, his previous collaboration with Holland. What Cusack could possibly hate about both movies is beyond me. Both are comedic masterpieces. However, ONE CRAZY SUMMER is the better of the two, mainly because it has a better cast. The cast does a terrific job (Bob Goldthwait has never been funnier). u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eSimply a classic! ****”
