Perfect cast and a good story

everything you have heard about this movie is true.

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

This movie is often overlooked by some for being too apple pie wholesome. but the movie did stand the test of its time. IT features 80s teen celebrities and the soundtrack is totally awesome. I haven't been able to find the song rock until you drop by sembello. It was also featured in a popular 80s movie monster squad but that soundtrack is hard to find and I don't think it has that song. So once again, we are back to square 1. The obscure 80s song that was not released on anything except maybe a soundtrack that is no longer extant. Also the characters were nice. this movie was made during the Reaganism reign in the late 80s. I highly advise those who did not grow up in the 80s to watch this one. back then, cellphones weren't things people had with them. Walk talkies though were around at that time. If this movie had implemented its teenage characters with cellphones I could imagine how the plot would have gone. being devoid of cellphones in the fun 80s is what makes this decade of teen films so unique because nowadays most films feature characters with cellphones but the 80s movies didn't. well this movie transcends all other teen films of late for originality and for having an excellent quality to it.

When I first saw this one late night on a local station, I was already much too old for its target audience. Yet I couldn't help but be drawn into this world. Yes, the kids were somewhat stereotyped and unrealistic. But my own prom was never this much fun. Not to mention a cast that was a Who's Who of late '80s sitcoms from all four networks of the time.Cut to today, fourteen years after the movie premiered. Hens Tooth Video's new DVD is spartan, with no special features whatsoever, but with a nicely sharp picture. And I'm pulled right back into it. Something has changed now. I'm even older, but it still speaks to me. Then it hits me. I'm not only wishing I was young again, I'm also thinking like the parents in this film, whose age I have, alas, reached. I sympathize with them and all their troubles. They no longer seem simply the addled adults. In the final scene at Huds, we see how the experiences of their own youth shaped and misshaped their adult lives. And in truth, not many of us weren't badly messed up as kids. The movie feels more balanced, now that I've seen it from both sides.So don't just dismiss this as a lightweight teen flick. It has something for everyone - the young, the old and the young at heart.

Dance 'Till Dawn is a goofy prom movie surprisingly jam-packed with big stars and real laughs. A very young Alyssa Milano is funny and sweetly beautiful, fresh from "who's the Boss?"Kelsey Grammer is hilarious as a religious zealot determined to ruin his daughter's prom night. Matthew Perry turns in his best-ever acting performance as Christina Applegate's whipped boyfriend. This movie is very hard to find, but pester your video store to get it

I saw this cheeseball as the Late Movie the other day. Like most things of the 80's, its fake, superficial, and predictable, but that's what makes its laughable. Still love those deep-throat be-bops and dodoots and "ohhhh. yeahhh"'s
