Light indie melodrama that at least has nostalgic sun, sea, sand, sex, beers, blue skies, cool cars, hot-bods in swim-suits, and a fine (if obvious) soundtrack

Miss the sun? Then check out indie writer / director king Edward Burns' 2018 80s-based autobiopic "Summer Days Summer Nights". One Long Beach summer sensitive teen Pico Alexander works for his single dad (Burns) at the beach while navigating heartache, new love (Lindsey Morgan), plans for the future, etc... as do others like Caitlin Stasey, Rita Volk (great), Carly Brooke & Anthony Ramos. While far too light & melodramatic to match the likes of "Do The Right Thing", "The Tender Bar", "The Way Way Back" or "The Fabelmans", it still has nostalgic sun, sea, sand, sex, beers, blue skies, cool cars, hot-bods in swim-suits, and a fine (if obvious) soundtrack.
