This Movie is Just as Good as Fast Times if Not Better
I love this movie to me this movie is just as good as Fast Times if not better. This movie was shown to me by my father and it has tons of great actors like Chris Penn, Eric Stoltz (the dude that was supposed to be Mart McFly's), and Leanne Thompson (Mart McFly's mom). Also the damn soundtrack was by Eddie Van Halen. Get out of here if you think this movie is mediocre because you obviously don't understand greatness.
