Mjeteconer Just perfect...

Lidia Draper Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

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

Mandeep Tyson The acting in this movie is really good.

Java_Joe Let me preface this by saying that I was a teen in the 80's when this came out and I loved this show back then. So when I saw the complete box set for $10 at my local DVD place I picked it up and looked forward to some nostalgia.Two episodes later I turned it off and put the DVD back in the case and haven't touched it since. The show hadn't changed of course but I had. And it's not like I don't like everything I did back then. There are still shows, music and movies that I loved back then that I still enjoy now. Problem is I'm a lot more discerning than I was before. The show is typical sitcom fare. Two friends, start high school with the plan to be popular. The idea is, as was put in the intro, to click with the right clique and they're in. Problem is, they're not. Cue the wacky characters and the broad stereotypes and we have an ensemble piece. Maybe some day I'll give it another try but right now, the memories of the show are more enjoyable than the actual show itself.

Twins65 I just plowed through a few episodes of Square Pegs for the first time in 30 years, and while the nostalgia trip back to '82 was fun, and the music performances were nice (Patty Donahue RIP), the episodes were pretty bland. I watched the pilot with The Waitresses, the Devo episode, Muffy's Bat Mitzvah episode, and the ones with Bill Murray and Steve Sax. I think I laughed all of once, and that was when Dena Dietrich ("Mother Nature" from those 70's margarine commercials, who I hadn't seen or thought about in years, but she was instantly recognizable) showed up and started hitting on Johnny Slash.The show was considered somewhat hip back in its day, with Sarah Jessica Parker and Amy Linker playing freshmen geeks who really wanted to be more popular. And the SoCal "dude-speak" of the early 80's was just getting going and featured here, with Sean Penn's Spicoli from Fast Times and Moon Zappa ranting on her dad's album cut "Valley Girl" the forerunners of the Square Pegs' writers jumping in with Tracy Nelson's one-note "gag-me-with-a-spoon" character. But it was all for naught. Paul Feig's Freaks and Geeks from '99 really blew Square Pegs away with 3 freshman boys trying to survive in the early 80's, and F&G featured way more laugh-out-loud dark humor, without a creepy laugh-track to unfunny lines bringing it down.The interviews on the extras were OK (shot in 2008), but don't waste your time unless you really want to see what John Femia and/or Claudette Wells are up to these days.

HoBopkins I have great memories of this show when I was in junior high and then I bought the DVD collection thinking that memories would then glide into sweet nostalgia, like when I watch old episodes of other great shows. But this very well might be the worst show ever made. The characters are awful, and the premise is built of sand not stone. We are supposed to believe that these girls are unpopular, meanwhile they have more confidence, and are better looking, than the popular set. Amy Linker's eyes alone would cause guys to fall down and beg her for a date, no matter that they added pillows to make her fat and braces. I remembered the Lenny and Squiggy of the show, Johnny Slash and Marshall, the geeky guy sidekicks, but what I didn't remember is that they aren't funny. If you want to go down memory lane, I would avoid this avenue altogether. The show is clumsily written, poorly acted, and just plain stinks.

curtsylocke Since Hollywood has ravenously consumed nearly every "classic" television series and regurgitated them into "big screen" treatments, time has come for "lost" series and failed pilots to become adapted for film.I became a fan of "Square Pegs" when it was playing in re-run in 1986-87. I was particularly fond of Sarah Jessica Parker as the "ugly duckling" -- you just knew she was a thinly veiled babe waiting to bust out. And speaking of babes, Jamie Gertz ("Still Standing") is hotter than 20 years ago!! Yikes!In a better, more original, "alternative" universe, "Square Pegs",not "Saved by the Bell", would have ran for 4 or 5 years and be available on DVD. The good die young.
