So, the actual 30th Anniversary of this film was actually a week ago on the 15th. But I was pretty jammed up with Anniversaries on that day, so today will have to do. Another film that was directed by the late John G. Avildsen. Was this was best film that I’ve seen about teen pregnancy before? Probably not. It’s ultimately some pretty lightweight stuff but it at least has its heart in the right place. And Molly Ringwald’s mother in this is played by Miriam Flynn, who played Cousin Catherine in the Vacation films. Naturally for a film that is OVER 30 years old now, there are a bunch of people gone, including the late Kenneth Mars, who I will always think of as Inspector Kemp in Young Frankenstein. Is there a bunch of heavy handed drama in this? Sure. But everthing ultimately works out in the end, so I’m not bust my balls too much over it!

A body swap movie with a slightly unnerving subtext, where the car accident that puts an 81-year-old George Burns into the body of his 18-year-old grandson nearly kills Burns’ body, trapping the grandson’s soul in his grandfather’s comatose form. The old guy gets to be young again, but he feels absolutely no guilt or regret about accidentally dooming his grandson to an endless vegetative state and possibly death. After 20 minutes, he seems to forget about him completely! Oh well; it’s sort of fun to watch a college kids dress and talk like George Burns.
