              Hard to believe this is 27 years old. Just watched and the radio scene gets me every time - I actually had an experience like that in 1980 with Michael Jackson's "She's Out of My Life" and a couple of others. Think it's time for a One Crazy Summer follow up!!!

                E Keith Turner It is one of those movies with a lot of quirky characters and stories. The French student lives across the street and the people she lives with are so terrible that she pretends not to speak English so she does not have to talk with them. Cusack's character tries to kill himself a few times but some thing happens that messes up his attempts. This mother cuts all the coupons off of cereal boxes (or whatever boxes) while the food is still in them so when they take them out of the cabinets, the food ends up all over the floor. There is a little boy who follows Cusack everywhere wanting to collect the $2 that he is owned, (very zombie like wanting saying, 2 dollars). And there is a claymation scene where there is a hamburger singing a Van Halen song and playing an Eddie Van Halen guitar. One of my all time favorite movies

                Allyson, QueenofTypos. Umaybow I have to make a point of seeing this. It sounds like it belongs on the list of movies that wouldn't be made today.

              Had a friend who was walking down the street and saw John Cusack (in town filming a flick) sitting in a car like a normal person, stopped at a red light. Instead of going up to the car and asking for his autograph or otherwise intruding she yells across the street "I want my 2 dollars!!" He just put his head down and laughed
