If you like 80's movies like I do, this movie is totally 80's. I grew up in the 80's and many times in the movie, I am like "oh yeah!" really understanding what they are meaning. It is so real on how kids and teenagers act. There are great one liners to like "Ok, Michael Jackson didn't come to my house to use the bathroom...but his sister did!" And you have Cyndi Lauper singing on the TV, and so on and so on. The story is great too! The good old treasure hunt! And the monster guy really makes it an original. This movie is soooo funny, like when this monster kisses one of the little boys right on the lips and he says "You smell like Phys Ed! The background music is even excellent for setting the mood of the movie. This is one of my all-time favorite movies! I had to buy it for my collection. I recommend you do too!
