BootDigest Such a frustrating disappointment
Acensbart Excellent but underrated film
Limerculer A waste of 90 minutes of my life
CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
steph-332-447328 I love this movie and have been trying to find it on DVD, but unfortunately I haven't found it. I thought it was a fun movie and the girls finding out what it's really like right out of high school. They do come in contact with some shady people, but manage to find some friends in the long run. Once they leave the dude ranch it's onto the cabin and a very crazy fun loving neighbor. There's a lot of fun and games in this movie and even more laughter when they get jobs at the casino. But, when Roscoe enters their life a lot of things go off track from their fun vacation. They figure out how to escape the clutches of Roscoe and save their new friend Talia.
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.
clcus The commentator that wrote this is not a good teen movie was right. This is a great teen movie. It does have a plot. A very good one. It is great because it is deep. It shows how the girls slowly get caught up in a world they've never known. As they are losing their innocence, they are gaining strength as young adults. They learn how to face their fears. They learn the real value of friendship. They learn that things are not always what they seem. The movie wasn't written as a comedy. So to say it isn't funny isn't really a valid critique. It has its funny moments, but it is a drama. If this movie were about a group of young men, would we be more accepting?If you can find it, go rent it!
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.
