Sorry for being a week behind, but school has consumed my life of late. I hosted Girl's Night last Thursday at Neil's house and naturally I was also running way behind with my cooking. However, my made-from-scratch chicken pot pie and maple-honey cornbread was a big hit!
Without further adieu, here is my review of Midnight Madness (1980) by none other than Walt Disney Pictures.
Midnight Madness is another film on our "Top 100" countdown of Disney movies. None of us had heard of this one before, but it turned out to be refreshing from the standard formula Disney movies we had gotten so used to watching. It turned out to be pretty entertaining and despite its 6.1 on IMDB I'd give it a solid 7.
The plot surrounds a group of college students taking part in a "game" that spans the entire city over one night and turns out to be quite a fiasco but also ties in a coming-of-age story.
The "game master" selects five students to act as "team leaders." The teams have to search the city for clues that lead them from one scenario to another, with a good deal of comedy along the way. It comes off as a bit silly to us in 2013 (I loved seeing the huge cell phones!), but we found ourselves quickly choosing our favorite team and rooting for them throughout the movie.
A note for parents: even though the movie is rated PG (1980), there are a few scenes of mild violence and some mild sexual suggestiveness which may be considered inappropriate.
