Totally Awesome (2006)

awesome 80's

Only really funny thing is the tracy morgan parts ..If you are a fan of his then pick this up other wise forget it ... its a bad version of the scary movie themes of the 80's April 18, 2008

Must buy!

Enjoyed the references to Soul Man, Footloose, Breaking, etc. I think I would enjoy this type of movie cause I graduated from high school in the 80's. April 12, 2008

80's given a 2000 kick

If you are nostagic for the clothes, music, vocabulary and personas of the 80's... this movie is for you!!!! October 25, 2007

Fun for the 80s in all of us!

Totally Awesome takes a variety of 80s teen films and melds them all together. Several mainstream actors are abundant and you will not be left out of in the laughs, as this movie will over dramatize several things you may find familiar. The social issues are still sweet and comical as well as the hairstyles and music. The 80s were a fun time when they were happening, so have fun reliving them or at least laughing at some of the films like sixteen candles or the breakfast club which have some presence in this film.

A nice surprise

Creators of embarassingly lame and un-funny spoof films like "Date Movie" and "Epic Movie" need to take notice. "Totally Awesome" might not be the funniest movie I've ever seen, (an honor still reserved for "Dumb and Dumber") but this movie succeeds as a far better spoof of its source material (the 80's) than either of those two movies combined. Instead of just loosely stitching together movie spoofs into a stupid and completely non-sensical plot (like the aforementioned duds), "Totally Awesome" is able to both spoof movies ("The Karate Kid", "Footloose", etc.) and weave them together into a decent story all its own. Even if you haven't seen many of the movies lampooned here, you should still have no problem enjoying the story as its presented. There's no punishment for those who aren't "in" on the joke, nor does the movie fall flat on its face without knowledge of the references. Let's see "Date Movie", "Epic Movie" or even "Scary Movie 4" make that claim. "Totally Awesome" is a funny and likable movie with a fair share of interesting and funny characters. Mikey Day is very charismatic as the likeable Charlie and Dominique Swain is completely hilarious with all her psychotic outbursts. (Seriously-these blow ups alone are worth the price of a rental!!) I'd like to see more movie spoofs done this way in the future and less like "Date Movie". July 18, 2007
