Early Shannon Dougherty is a take-it-or-leave it proposition. Most of the other principles are the standard teen idol fare, i.e faces you think you should know from TV. For you fans of Rich Corea, however, this glimpse of his early work is not to be missed. He brings a nuance to the part of Walsh's goon that rises above the hackneyed script. In the scenes where Corea is paired with fellow "goon" Len Foley, the two seem to perfectly balance the menacing and comedic sides of their ill-fated characters. Had the producers transformed this into an atypical "buddy movie" starring Corea and Foley, this film may have been saved. This script was never going to be an Emmy consideration, but it's worth the rental fee to see Corea.
