Nothing brings people together like a crappy summer job.

ComedyDrama

In the summer of 1987, a college graduate takes a 'nowhere' job at his local amusement park, only to find it's the perfect course to get him prepared for the real world.

VIBE

This film feels like a sun-drenched, slightly sticky summer spent navigating the awkwardness of young adulthood. It's a bittersweet journey through first loves, dead-end jobs, and the hazy, uncertain transition into the real world, all wrapped in a charmingly nostalgic 80s package.
