Nostalgic Movie

I register in this site, because i wanted to comment this movie. It's a nostalgic film, and it's really cool, despite the plot is a little naive. But who cares? Jerry Levine and Susan Ursitti, where are you? Where is the town? Where are the Beavers? Where are those people that, in the end, in the victory, were "captured" frame by frame? Nostalgia in its best! But, really, the movie is all Michael J. Fox's show and what a better guy to do a "teen"wolf? A solid entertainment of the 80's, similar to so many products, but manufactured with solid hand. By the way, why did Rod Daniel never did anything again?
