Juvenile swingers get a dressing down after growing to gigantic heights. 20 years ago, our local TV channel 9 used to show this dreck every other month--and even as a kid, I wondered why everyone's reactions were sooo slooow (the drowsy actors seem as though they're underwater). Tommy Kirk (the only teenager with a receding hairline) attempts a 'Samson and Goliath' with cocky giant Beau Bridges (looking a might square, and struggling to hide his embarrassment), yet even the rocks which fly from his sling-shot are in slow-motion! It's possible to get a momentary kick from these tacky antics, but the ugliness of the entire concept is self-defeating. It's hard to laugh at something so utterly cringe-worthy. * from ****
