One Crazy Summer
Two graduates of Generic High School spend the summer on Nantucket Island -- meet girls, run afoul of the local capitalist pigs, challenge them in the big regatta, etc. The standard youth-comedy agenda, but a bit more detailed, more deviant, more mordant (e.g., the chain-smoking recluse who keeps a twenty-four-hour vigil by his radio and telephone, awaiting his chance to be the fiftieth caller in the million-dollar cash giveaway). Well-integrated animation sequences about an upright rhinoceros whose search for love is continually thwarted by little fuzzy bunnies. John Cusack, Demi Moore, Bobcat Goldthwait; written and directed by Savage Steve Holland. 1986.
