Welcome to 18 Audience Reviews

Stoutor It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.
Anoushka Slater While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.
Philippa All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
Marva It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,
movie_buff_extraordinaire_100 This movie is terrible. From what I gather it was never even released. I happened to be shown this by what I thought was a friend. He picked up the VHS tape in a trash bin. Well, that was 91 minutes of my life wasted. Uggh. The soundtrack is really bad. Marisa and Courtney try to the best they can with a crappy script and even worse co-actresses. The story goes nowhere and you just don't really care what happens. Watching that one actress dance around with lipstick and some stupid wig made me cringe. She gives a creepy little troll vibe. I guess this was made in the 80's when anyone thought they could make a movie on the cheap and pump it to the public. This one is so bad, they couldn't apparently get anyone to even release it. Don't waste your time.
holly22680 I never saw this movie when it first came out, but probably when I was a freshman in high school in the mid 90s. While it doesn't have the best plot ever, my girlfriends and I watched that movie a lot. It's a little cheesy but it's emphasis is on the friendship of three girls. And they support each other despite flaws and arguments and problems that arise. It's a coming of age movie, that has fairly unknown actresses as main characters, a storyline that's a little unbelievable, but it can be a good chick flick for girls who aren't harsh critics, who can appreciate the very 80s look of the movie, and who can relate to the on the verge of womanhood vibe this movie has. So, while others don't like it, I still consider it one of my favs to come out of the 80s, and a good coming of age movie.
suttca Long before the platinum records, though i did have a few gold ones, I wrote and sang a song for this fun film. It has a giant cult following and still is picking up new young fans. Now, two of the girls are stars, so i still get royalty checks, 20 years later. Fun to see what i did at 17, still alive and well. this film is no "breakfast club", but what is? this is a cute, fun, innocent 80's teen flick. it is very well done and had a good budget. 3 teenage girls out for a summer adventure. it is not meant to be taken seriously and you will enjoy it as long as you are not expecting peter o'toole doing Shakespeare. if you find an old record or the foreign video, i would die, and pay to have it in my collection. Sit back and clear your mind and enjoy not having to worry about plot twists or who gets the girl. sometimes we need to simply have fun, and this movie is fun as well as silly, just as the director meant it to be. please do not contact me to ask my "celeb" name. i am on the IMDb under my birth name which i only use for celebrity audio projects i do for charity and this, my first film credit. boy, my grandparents were happy to see my name ;-) cheers, craig braginsky
Pepper Anne It has been a while since I've seen this movie, but once is certainly enough with this one. 'Welcome to 18' is about a group of girls who head out to a ranch for the summer where they find a bit of romance and also get themselves into a bit of trouble. The movie isn't really all that funny and is pretty stupid even by 80s teen movie standards. There isn't much that goes on in the story most of the time, and when something finally does happen (when there little misfortune arises), it is a little too late. Worst of all, despite the lack of any real plot, the characters are pretty annoying. I'm not surprised you don't hear anything about this forgettable little movie anymore.
