Savage Steve Holland. Who would think a man with such a ridiculous name could be responsible for not just one but two of my favorite comedies from childhood: Better Off Dead and One Crazy Summer.
Hoops McCann (John Cusack) sucks at B-Ball but he’s a whiz cartoonist. Spending the summer at his friend’s place in Nantucket, figuring out his priorities, he falls for a local girl and helps her try to save her father’s house from evil developers.
Almost as good as Better Off Dead, and might have been just as good if not for Moore’s awful performance and a nearly crippling lack of chemistry with her costar Cusack.
