Leave your thoughts about Corvette Summer.
| TIME MagazineFrank RichAs long as one doesn't demand too much of it, Corvette Summer delivers a very pleasant two hours of escape. |
| The New YorkerPauline KaelThe central portion of Corvette Summmer, set in Las Vegas with an Alice in Wonderland air, has a visual zaniness that meshes effectively with the script. But for the most part, the movie takes a slender, boyish conceit — of the sort that is suddenly so popular among Hollywood's current batch of boy wonders — and invests it with silliness rather than whimsy. |
| The A.V. ClubNoel MurrayCorvette Summer was originally billed as "a fiberglass romance," and that about sums up its thematic ambitions. Robbins cares about the automobiles much more than the drivers. From the jargon-filled car talk to the repeated shots of tricked-out machines, Corvette Summer is about hot wheels, not what they mean. |
| User ReviewJohn RGuilty Pleasure - not the best but thanks for the memories!!! |
| User ReviewMaurice BI love it they did a good movie and it wasn't all fancy, just a simple good movie, with a sick Corvette, as well as others. Good stroy line to |
| User ReviewJay Mits a great movie about corvettes, however, not the way i'd rebuild mine (if i had one) |
| User ReviewJerry SKenny (Mark Hamill) is trailing a Corvette that's mysteriously boosted after his high school shop class restores it to perfection. The trail leads to Fun Capital USA and a ditzy diversion (Annie Potts) whose dream is to become a hooker? also stars Eugene Roche, Kim Milford, Richard McKenzie, William Bryant, Philip Burns, Danny Bonaduce and Jane A. Johnston. directed by Matthew Robbins. |
| User ReviewDavid CAnnie Potts rocks in this film! So many cool things about this film, and if you want to see "old" Las Vegas, it's all here!! |
| User ReviewMatthew MI got this movie because I remember seeing it advertised when I was at the corvette museum in cooperstown. Also of course this was the movie Mark Hamil starred after the legendary release of the first Star Wars. I did not know what to anticipate because he could have easily done something else but he decided to do this movie a complete reversal from a fantasy based Star Wars to a adventure/comedy. The movie is very odd though just the idea of searching for a corvette in Las Vegas and how he was able to see it so many times and get to the bottom of the mystery. He also was betrayed and I could not believe that the person would have done what he would have done. The car chase was cool and I love corvettes so it was not a bad movie to watch at all. Its definitely original in many aspects and has story that I have not seen before. The plot however weird was a good break from what I usually see and it was enjoyable. |
| User ReviewBrad HI can totally relate to this guy, except I'd definantly find a way to keep that vette |
