Reviews

Four stars for the scenes with Kevin Bacon, and two stars for the scenes with the gang. Everything with the gang felt very 90's-made-for-tv-movie. If I only saw the gang scenes, there is no chance I would think this was made in 2007.

That sounds pretty negative for giving it 3.5 stars, but if it was a weighted average, Kevin Bacon is in it a LOT more, so there is more 4 star time than 2 star time.
