Attempt to turn teen star into Dramatic Actor comes a cropper...
Kid from the sticks relocates to Los Angeles to live with his brother--but while he's at the airport, his suitcase full of clothes is switched with a drug lord's cache of heroin. The old baggage switcheroo resurrected once again! It's a plot device so old it wheezes, but what exactly it's doing in a movie from 1986 is the real puzzler. Anthony Michael Hall has the lead, straying too far from the Breakfast Club. An absolute disaster from director Richard Tuggle and screenwriter Tony Kayden, neither of whom shows any inspiration, instead going with a now-dated "trendy" look and spare parts recycled from other movies. NO STARS from ****
