Totally Awesome

Who's in it? Dominique Swain, Chris Kattan, James Hong, Tone Loc
What's it about? A spoof of typical 1980's teen movies.
What type of film is it? Comedy
Is it any good? If you grew up in the 70s and 80s – or are familiar with films of the time – then this will be right up your street. Inspired by films including Footloose, The Karate Kid, Flashdance, Teen Wolf and loads of others – this is not only a trip down memory lane but also a genuinely funny film. In the US this TV movie was screened on VH1 but it’s gone straight to DVD here, but that’s not a bad thing. Hunt this out and watch it. Great retro fun.
