It never got released in movie theaters, I found it in a video store years later and it looked like it was worth a look. When they were scouting locations for a high school to film at they saw a kid in the hall they thought was perfect for one of the roles - no acting experience - it was Matt Dillon. It has a great soundtrack with Cheap Trick, Van Halen, Ramones - Nirvana's music video for Smells Like Teen Spirit was a bit of an homage to this movie.

if you can find it on cable or DVD - get it.
