Liked this quite a bit. The humor is right up my alley with the absurd mixed with the traditional (kind of reminds me of Caddyshack in a way). John Cusack's style was great and although admittedly didn't have great chemistry with Demi Moore, I did laugh enough that I had a good time. Just an easy-going film and a perfect watch to end the summer. **3.75/5**

**_Teen comedy on Nantucket Island with young John Cusack and Demi Moore_** A wannabe cartoonist/writer (John Cusack) is invited to vacation on Nantucket Island with a friend. A string of misadventures begin after they pick-up a free-spirited hitchhiker (Demi Moore) who's being chased by a motorcycle gang. Along with some friends, they must help Cassandra (Demi) save her grandfather's house from the greedy Beckersted Family. "One Crazy Summer" (1986) is a quirky youth misadventure with just enough good to give it a marginal thumbs up. It's zany and creative, highlighted by Demi in one of her early roles. She was 22 during filming and looks great, but she curiously wears big, loose clothing throughout, which conceals her physical beauty. But there are a few notable females in peripheral roles, such as Kimberly Foster as cookie. There's also a Godzilla parody that's great fun. The movie runs 1 hour, 33 minutes, and was shot in Nantucket and Cape Cod, Massachusetts. GRADE: B-
