\"\"<\/a>The Allnighter<\/em><\/strong> isn\u2019t exactly a quintessential movie from the 1980s, probably not even second tier either, and while it\u2019s pretty safe but it\u2019s light-hearted entertainment.<\/p>\n

THE MOVIE \u2014 3\/5<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n
\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Plot Synopsis: <\/strong>Molly (SUSANNA HOFFS) is a fun-loving coed whose frustration at having spent four years at a California surf-side college without a significant romance is matched only by her determination to do something about it. Aiding Molly in her last-ditch search for \u201cMr. Right\u201d is a pair of roomies, Val (DEEDEE PFEIFFER) and Gina (JOAN CUSACK), who decides to gear up for the hottest party of the year and experience the most memorable evening of all time.<\/p>\n

Quick Hit Review: The Allnighter<\/em><\/strong> is a romance-comedy from 1987 that has flown under the radar, although in fairness, probably for a good reason. While I didn\u2019t mind it that much, in fact I actually liked Susanna Hoffs (known for The Bangles) in the lead role, and sure it was a vanity project since this was co-written and directed by her mother, Tamar Simon Hoffs (and not all that good in both categories), the film is just plainly fun, safe for the most part as it\u2019s no Porky\u2019s<\/em> or Animal House<\/em>. In addition, the film does feature some comically bad acting (Val\u2019s Wall Street douche of a fianc\u00e9e comes to mind).<\/p>\n

I had a good time with this acknowledging the bad elements and understanding the poor reviews this has garnered over the years, however if you\u2019re looking for a 90-minute time-waster I\u2019d say The Allnighter<\/em><\/strong> is worth a shot.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
