Featured review
A nice beginning and end.....but not too much in the middle.
The problem with this movie is that it couldn't seem to decide whether it wanted to be a poignant follow up to the awesome Summer of '42, or a version of Animal House.
And the chemistry between Hermie, and his girlfriend was pretty much non-existent. Think that I would have enjoyed it if they had brought Aggie back from the original film.
The first scenes and the last ones did capture the spirit of the times, and were true to the original in their poignancy, and warmth......but those scenes were sandwiched between a pretty forgettable middle. There was one moment when Hermie inexplicably explodes at his roommate, Sam Bottoms, that really didn't make a lot of sense.
Gary Grimes was, however, very watchable, and Jerry Hauser had some really good moments.
