DVD Reviews of Corvette Summer
DVD Review: Novelty film for Star Wars's Mark Hamill fans
Summary: 4 Stars
I watched this film yesterday (streaming from Netflix) and I'll have to say that it was a fun film to watch as our summer starts to come to an end. I was hesitant to watch this because it's probably going to be another campy dated seventies teen flick (like The Van, Aloha Bobby and Rose, Car Wash, etc.) but it was a bit more realistic drama than any kind of comedy that's hard to appreciate being over 30 years old.
But, I enjoyed this. Mark Hamill played Kenny, a typical white trash high school student in the Los Angeles area, who lives with his sleezy white trash mother in a trailer park, and who has poor grades at school, but, has a passion for working on and restoring cars. His first love in this film was to restore a Stingray Corvette.
No sooner does he and some fellow students completely restore this Stingray Corvette, during a friend's test drive of the Corvette, it is stolen almost immediately.
Kenny posts a picture of his Corvette at a gas station he works at, hoping someone will have seen it. He gets a clue from a passer-by that thinks he saw Kenny's Corvette in Las Vegas, so Kenny is determined to find his Corvette so he heads to Las Vegas. There he meets who is soon to be is second love, a call girl wannabe named Vanessa, played by Annie Potts.
Now, who in their right mind, could not love and appreciate Annie Potts? She's cute as hell, has an adorable Bronx accent, and has incredible patience for Kenny as they work together to help his find his stolen Corvette. Of course, Kenny's Corvette is there, but when he finally confronts the thieves, he learns that the conspiracy of the thief began at home with his auto body teacher (Ed McGrath) back at school in Los Angeles. So, Kenny is confronted by his teacher, and is offered a job with the car thieves who also restore cars (although they restore stolen cars). Kenny agrees but he has an alternate intention as he plays along till he and Vanessa make their move to get back his stolen Stingray Corvette.
Yes, this was a great film to end my summer. If this came out on Blu-Ray, I'd buy it.
