8/10
Highly entertaining, if you lived the 80s.

Admittedly, this was much more entertaining than expected. Shipka's and Holt's outstanding delivery and execution combined with clever writing makes this a fun homage to sit back and laugh through. It's put together quite well, and the constant brick-in-face 80s culture references hit hard without being as annoying as other 80s re-enactments that just casually place Rubiks Cubes on night stands and make the actors wear tube socks and leg warmers.. (loved the ED-209 malfunction scene, extra star just for that) This movie is face paced and interesting, comedic, but also still brutal at times, and amounted to being a successful product for this genre. The one distraction was a bit too much of the PC progressive messaging. Some of it was humorous and subtle enough to make sense, but just as much was forced signaling that was too eye-roll.
