Movie Reviews of Mischief
Movie Review: Movie
Summary: 5 Stars
When I received this movie it was in very good condition. The case was not damaged at all and the movie played very well.Movie Review: Sometimes funny, but not a "sex comedy"
Summary: 4 Stars
(3.5/5 stars) Something that distinguishes a good coming-of-age film from your average teen sex comedy is the ability of the filmmakers to convince the audience the experience of making the film was nostalgic, even therapeutic for them. Whether it is "A Christmas Story," "Cinema Paradiso," "My Life as a Dog," or "Mischief," the product seems like a memoir, a romanticized trip down memory lane. OK, so "Mischief" isn't quite the caliber of the first three; nonetheless, this little story does a good job of evoking the atmosphere of Small Town, USA in 1956. Being successful takes more than simply adding hit songs from that period of time or getting the clothing or automobile styles correct; the story needs to pull us in and get us to sympathize with some of the characters, and this film succeeds in this. The actors all do a fine job in creating this sincere tale of an average teen, Jonathan (played by Doug McKeon), who reluctantly accepts help from the cool new greaser, Gene (Chris Nash), in getting his dream girl, Marilyn (Kelly Preston). Eventually Jonathan realizes friendship means more to him than his fantasies, which would have been better left unfulfilled. Look for Terry O'Quinn, who currently plays John Locke on "Lost," in a brief role as Gene's father. Once again, Anchor Bay has performed a great service by creating a very clean widescreen transfer of a film that otherwise might not have seen the light of day. Really, why didn't Fox DVD release this 20th Century Fox film itself?Movie Review: Mischief

We received our DVD of Mischief today. Look forward to watching later this week when we get time. Loved it since it debuted. I saw it at the show way back when. I have a taped copy I recorded off HBO about ten years ago.
I loved the soundtrack but I guess it was never released on an LP or CD. A shame as it contained a few songs I don't have in my collection.
The cover art I question. Why they chose to use the Bel Air instead of the Jonathan's Studebaker I don't know.
Movie Review: Porky's with a touch of class
Summary: 4 Stars
Mischief is an overlooked little gem of a movie that is basically a teen comedy with just the right touch of melodrama.Not having come of age during that time I can't say how realistic it is but I could definately relate to the inexperience coupled with the raging hormones of my teen years.Almost as good as another teen comedy classic Dazed and Cofused,Mischief benefits from a generous 50's soundtrack as well.Movie Review: Coming of age movie has charm
Summary: 4 Stars
A slice of the 50's filmed in Nelsonville, Ohio, which hadn't changed much when I went to college there in the mid-70's but has changed a lot since. Kelly Preston has a beautiful (and funny) nude scene which will make you reach for the remote.
