While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

PICK-UP SUMMER (Pinball Summer) was shown as part of the Grindhouse Film Festival at the New Beverly Cinema in Los Angeles March 9-10, 2007. This film among others was chosen by Quentin Tarantino as a favorite from his personal 35mm collection. I saw him briefly in the lobby of the theater and he said that he saw this in 1982 when it was first released. On Friday night when I saw it in a packed house, the mainly young audience got the jokes (lots of laughter) and had fun with the film. Obviously inspired by other teen films like THE VAN and THE POM-POM GIRLS, this film revolves around a Pinball Machine (remember them?) tournament. Not too shabby...

Recently obtained a DVD of "PickUp Summer", the purchase price was rock bottom and so is this picture. The producers had to put nudity throughout the film in order to keep it interesting. This film looked like it was made in the 1950's not 80's. It is not a comedy at all, it is just a big JOKE!

The first time I saw this it was about 4 in the morning and I wasn't all there. It was insanely cheesy and funny at the same time. Bad acting, bad music equals CLASSIC MOVIE! I have been looking to buy a copy of this movie but it is IMPOSSIBLE to find. This movie captures summer perfectly. Steve and Greg have an unforgettable time throughout the movie and you get a good feeling after watching it! I find myself watching this movie alot because it is a CLASSIC!! The soundtrack is amazing also!

This is a fairly routine teen comedy, with precious few laughs and lots of guys with sex on the brain. I will, however, give this film high marks for actually "feeling" like summer. Perhaps it's just me, but I can't identify at all with a California or Florida summer...there are no palm trees around my city. So for all of the flaws in this movie, I think that I'll remember the lovely Canadian summer scenery for some time...the only part worth remembering in an otherwise forgettable film.
