Stopping briefly in a small Texas town, an itinerant race car driver finds that his stock car, on a trailer behind his motor home, has just been quickly and expertly stripped. He chases down the miscreants, who turn out to be six orphan children. He has no recourse to the law, for the corrupt local Sheriff takes most of the proceeds of their thievery in exchange for not putting them in an orphanage. They are charming rogues, who are in turn charmed by him. Disliking their arrangement with the Sheriff, they stow away with him, and he finds himself becoming a reluctant father figure.

Leave your thoughts about Six Pack.
| Chicago TribuneGene SiskelThe best teenage comedy since last year's "Risky Business." |
| Austin ChronicleMarjorie BaumgartenMolly Ringwald is radiant here as the eternal teen looking for love. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertThis is a fresh and cheerful movie with a goofy sense of humor and a good ear for how teenagers talk. |
| The New York TimesJanet MaslinThe movie is cheerful and light, showcasing Mr. Hughes's knack for remembering all those aspects of middle-class American adolescent behavior that anyone else might want to forget. |
