Midnight Madness Movie Review 1980

Five teams of college stereotypes search the city of Los Angeles for clues as part of a wacky scavenger hunt designed by a fellow student. Features the big-screen debut of Michael J. Fox as the little brother of David "I'm a Pepper" Naughton (look closely to see the former Pepper pitchman drinking a bottle of the stuff; it's the only near-witty moment). Also casts Stephen "Flounder" Dorf, making this flick somewhat of an "It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad Animal House," but to say that is an insult to both of those films. Even the presence of arch-geek Eddie Deezen can't save the outing.
