Savage Steve Holland and John Cusack followed up their cult favorite Better Off Dead with this demented summer vacation romp. Cusack plays Hoops McCann a high school graduate and aspiring cartoonist who heads to Nantucket with his buddy George (Murray). On the way they meet a rock’n’roller on the run from a biker gang (Moore) and set out to help her save her grandparents’ home from foreclosure. With Holland’s manic, absurdist touch, ONE CRAZY SUMMER is an insane Frankenstein of a film – sewn together from bits of a traditional romantic comedy, a teen sex flick, Monty Python-esque non-sequitur bits, and an unhinged Bobcat Goldthwait performance into one totally unclassifiable whole.
A "Double Feature" ticket additionally allows admission into the 5:30pm screening of Return of the Living Dead. No additional purchase is necessary.
