Mischief (1985)
Nostalgic 50s high school movie reminiscent of Back to the Future

I loved the sound track...lots of Elvis, Drifters, etc. The movie was rather slow paced just like the decade it depicts, but the pace picks up half way through. For those of us over forty five it was a nice trip down memory lane to a simpler, more innocent time, a time before computers, ubiquitous TV, and on-demand sex. And, even though there is a minor loss of innocence as the movie progresses, even that was in itself rather modest and quaint...more realistic than most high school movies set in the 50s.
All-in-all, it was nice to turn the clock back if only for about 99 minutes.
If you're a fan of 50s nostalgia, rock-and-roll (esp Elvis and the Drifters), or Kelly Preston, you will definitely enjoy this movie.
