4.0 out of 5 stars More fun from John hughes 3 Mar 2012
By babyday
Format:DVD
One of my fave comedies from the 90s,its about a hapless guy who takes a job as a cleaner at a superstore only to find himself locked in for the night on his own,to clean the night away! well he thinks hes on his own until he finds that the towns beautiful rich girl (played by Jennifer connelly)is locked in with him too.Also has a fun subplot about 2 bungling burglars,its feel good fun from director John hughes & will appeal to anyone who appreciates his movies as this has elements of his other stuff such as 'breakfast club',aswell as Jen connelly fans of course!

4.0 out of 5 stars It's Got Jennifer Connelly 23 Dec 2002
By "eldarkinhof" - Published on Amazon.com
Format:DVD
This movie is all right, I suppose. Jennifer Connelly is in it, long before her Academy Award for "A Beautiful Mind," when she started looking like Lara Flynn Boyle thrown under a steamroller. The story is fairly lightweight, a bit of thinly comic fluff about Jennifer Connelly and some other guy whose name doesn't matter getting stuck in a Target store after hours. Unfortunately, just as the story really gets going, with Jennifer Connelly roller-skating around in tight pants and a dangerously overstressed T-shirt, an unwelcome plot twist intrudes in the form of two burglars, who are neither absurd enough to be funny nor threatening enough to be dramatic. At any rate, Jennifer Connelly is in it.

One highlight of the movie is a scene where Jennifer Connelly, without roller skates but still in the T-shirt, goes for a ride on one of those drug store mechanical ponies. Sadly, even in the DVD version of this film, this important scene was cut far too short in favor of the less compelling themes of the script. Still -- Jennifer Connelly. In a T-shirt. Riding a mechanical pony in her T-shirt. Jennifer Connelly is doing this.

So, even though it's not exactly Schindler's List, I give this film 4 stars -- 2 each -- for Jennifer Connelly.

Did I mention Jennifer Connelly?

Jennifer Connelly. Thank you.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ride that pony! 15 Jun 2001
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
Format:DVD
Yes, it's an okay film. In some ways, it anticipates later films such as "Raising Arizona." It never reaches the level of hilarity, but it has one undeniable strength:

Jennifer Connelly rides a K-Mart-style mechanical pony for about five minutes. That's worth the price of the DVD alone.

3.0 out of 5 stars A simple fun 83 minutes. 5 Dec 2005
By H3@+h - Published on Amazon.com
Format:DVD
Though this film was released in the early 90's, it has a very 80's feel to it, compliments of John Hughes maybe. It's your typical teen comedy in many ways, just not one of the better ones. The plot was rather weak, though it did make me wonder what I would do stuck in a store overnight. Frank Whaley did a decent job as the town liar/geek/loser. Also the ending was fairly abrupt, and made you wonder what happened to everyone. However, there were two things in the film that were literally outstanding, and both of them were in Jennifer Connelly's tank-top. A must for fans of hers.
