Totally Awesome
Watch TrailerDo you prefer to wax on or wax off? Preacher won't let you dance? Well then, put Baby in the corner and come on down, 'cause VH1 is bringing back more of the '80s you love in this feature-length film, Totally Awesome. The Gundersons have just moved across the country and the kids - Charlie, Lori, and Max - are trying their best to acclimate themselves into a new school and all kinds of dilemmas therein: the need to dance, the pitfalls of young love, the quest for popularity, scientific genius and of course the quirky but loveable Japanese gardener. Totally Awesome takes all your favorite '80s-flick mainstays and weaves them into the biggest and baddest plotline ever conceived. Tot say it is radical would be an understatement.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The film constructs its comedy entirely from references to iconic 80s movies, weaving them into an exaggerated, patchwork plot. It relies on familiar tropes—the school dance, the quirky mentor, the quest for popularity—and amplifies them to absurd proportions.
What lingers after the credits is the sense of a cheerful, unapologetic parody designed purely for fun. It’s a celebration of nostalgia that asks for nothing more than a willingness to smile at its silliness. — MovieFinder Editorial
