Back to the Frame Rate

It's 1986, Hoops McCann has just graduated Generic New York High School (yes, that's the name of his school). He's missed out on his chance for a basketball scholarship and he's facing an entire summer of sketching whammies in his notepad and life damaging boredom. But what he doesn't know yet is that he's about to have 'ONE CRAZY SUMMER'!!!! We wrap up our 80s summer comedy retrospective with this overlooked early John Cusack picture.
