Cubussoli Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Sammy-Jo Cervantes There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

Ava-Grace Willis Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

Fulke 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.

thesar-2 Here's a movie I saw once…ONLY ONE TIME before…when I was probably 8-9 years old and I seriously never forgot...the Midnight Madness theme song throughout my entire life. (Weird how the child's mind works, eh?)Picture it: Paradise Valley, Arizona, early 1980s, I was at a sleepover at one of my friend's house and they were RIIIICH because they had a V/C/R. His mom thought we would enjoy a movie for the night, but in reality she was just trying to tone us (and the volume) down so she and his daddy could sleep.I was captivated – for one, it was a…V/C/R player! We could…PAUSE, REWIND and PLAY! And second, it was a funny adventure with a great intro song I could cling to.Oh, I forgot, we could fast-forward as well. So, fast-forward 30+ years, until tonight and I have to say: This movie was AWFUL. Is it a remake of It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World, or a cheap rip-off? Either way, it's enormously offensive in both its tone and dated themes.Some might say this PG-Rated movie was silly, harmless fun, but it's really only "silly." It's not "fun." And it's certainly not "harmless." This movie made me think of a TOP TEN THINGS I TOOK FROM MIDNIGHT MADNESS list:10. Oh, this is sooo 1980s. Racism is so funny! Being so un-P/C is so acceptable! 9. Wearing a wedding ring means you're married? Nah, it means "kid" Stephen Furst forgot to take it off when selecting his marshmallows for the film's prop. 8. Teaching freshmen to follow their dreams, be all-they-can-be and that they're "all right the way they are" only works when you judge their mates by their appearance. 7. Ahhh, that pathetic product placement didn't work on me at all. I just happened to buy this 30-pack of Dr. Pepper bottles coincidentally following this movie. 6. George Lucas isn't one of my favorite people, but even he should sue over the blatant STAR FIRE video game rip off of his famous movie series. The real name of that franchise slipped my mind. 5. Being mean to relatives, heavier-set women, nerds, employees, "dumb" jocks and immigrant maids, can be funny if…if…Actually, not in this day and age. 4. The art of winning something without doing so is just not worth it. 3. Thank God, Marty McFly got work after this. 2. Angry at, said God, for Pee-Wee Herman getting work after this.…and the number one thing I took from Midnight Madness…1. Only the token black guy can "jimmy a lock." Nope, no racial discrimination here. At least, he wasn't wearing a hoodie.Possibly, worst of all – this movie is far too BLEEPING long at 112 minutes. The film, again, is meant to be a "hilarious, 1980s college edition" of It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World, and it far overstepped its welcome. It's not recommended, especially by those easily offended today. There is nothing present in this feature that can enhance or teach today's youth. Heck, even the clues to "The Great Allnighter" game of the movie's premise, weren't clever, puzzling or inventive.This movie has been buried and rightfully so. I'm glad I never have to revisit it, again.(…BUT…I might still download that theme song. Hey, now! Its part of my childhood. And…who doesn't miss those sleepovers?!?)

imdb-21622 Cheesy, yep. Good acting, now, for the most part. A bit nostalgic, yep.I will admit my favorite part of the movie was realizing that Scott was played by a very young Michael J Fox. And he was good even back then.Peewee Herman makes a very brief appearance as well.Mindless entertainment, for the most part. Feels a bit like Revenge of the Nerds meets Gumball Rally or something.Reasons to watch -* Michael J Fox * Leon, he's pretty funny * Peewee Herman brief appearance * That late 70's low budget comedy feelReasons not to watch -* Something better is on

kylewoman Hilarious, clean, light-hearted, and quote-worthy. What else can you ask for in a film? This is my all-time, number one favorite movie. Ever since I was a little girl, I've dreamed of owning a blue van with flames and an observation bubble.The cliché characters in ridiculous situations are what make this film such great fun. The wonderful comedic chemistry between Stephen Furst (Harold) and Andy Tennant (Melio) make up most of my favorite parts of the movie. And who didn't love the hopeless awkwardness of Flynch? Don't forget the airport antics of Leon's cronies, dressed up as Hari Krishnas: dancing, chanting and playing the tambourine--unbeatable! The clues are genius, the locations are classic, and the plot is timeless.A word to the wise, if you didn't watch this film when you were little, it probably won't win a place in your heart today. But nevertheless give it a chance, you may find that "It doesn't matter what you say, it doesn't matter what you do, you've gotta play."

Mystic1111 Am I the only person that has seen this movie? I saw this film as a child. It came on tv a lot (USA or something like that) and I loved it. It intrigued me. Something about scavenger hunts, with different teams, through the city at night. Anyways, as I grew older I never heard of this movie again. I mean for at least 10 to 12 years. Nothing. But I still remembered the song from the movie and it would sometimes pop in my head. I thought myself to be crazy and so did everyone else I had asked about it. I had convinced myself that I must have made it up when I was younger, but then I found the movie at a store one day and bought it. Now I think it to be quite humorous the things we get attached to as a child and think are so funny. It is still entertaining to me though. Oh well, Anyone else? I know I seem it, but No, I am not crazy. My mind is wide awake and I can't sleep!
