Corvette Summer

When an unknown actor hits it big in one of the most successful movies of all time you would think that he was destined for some roles that would challenge his skills. But after Star Wars Mark Hamill did this little forgettable film, where it only goes to show how much of a B-movie actor he really is. The story is lame, the acting is stale and the biggest star of the film is the car, a Stingray Corvette in cherry metallic red. This isn't the first film to have a car as the main point of the story but the others at least had actors that didn't seem like they were acting in a plastic bubble.
After a high school's auto class rebuilds a Stingray Corvette, it is stolen and one of the students spends the summer looking for the car and the thieves and ends up in the adventure of his life. All of the acting throughout the film is so stale you could probably make penicillin from the mold. From beginning to end the situations that the characters get into are just too unbelievable to keep the movie rolling. From bad dialog to bad acting this movie should have been shelved before the first frame was shot. Just watching it you can tell that it was thrown together to capitalize on Hamill's success in Star Wars, and you can tell from this film, and others, that the only thing that he would remembered for is his role as Luke Skywalker.
The only true way that you can enjoy this film is if you're a gear head and you're into Corvettes. This is one of those movies that I saw when I was younger and at the time thought it was pretty good but now that I'm older and I see some of these movies again for what they really are, and that's crap. It was tough to sit through this movie; some of the story flaws were so big you could have driven the Stingray right through it. If you like looking at cars and the story doesn't matter to you that much, this is one is for you. But if your looking for something with a little meat on it don't see this film, it will leave a bad taste in your mouth and then you'll only have yourself to blame because I warned you.
