All aboard for a ride on the wild side!
A group of graduating students from a midwestern high school comes to New York City on a trip to celebrate the impending end of school. The students include: Roger Ellis, an ambitious teen aiming for success in big business; David, an aspiring rock star; Judy Matheson, a stagestruck coed actress wannabe; Denise, a free-spirited girl hoping to obtain a degree of sophistication; Fred, a lotharo looking for any Big City woman to be with; and Jon Lipton, a would-be artist hoping to make it big. Mickey Rooney also appears briefly as himself during the backstage scene at the musical "Sugar Babies."

This had to have been the strangest senior trip I have ever seen. No group activities and the kids keep running into each other all across Manhattan, you know because it's such a small place. I don't know how anyone can look at Scott Baio and not immmediately think Chachi or _Charles in Charge_. In this movie, he does change it up a little bit and play the intelligent focused teen who knows exactly what he wants. The other stories get mixed reviews. The ones who just drank or wanted to get prostitutes were pretty lame. Note a young Jason Alexander (George Costanza from _Seinfeld_) as the guy who vomits on the bus. The lady who sang for Mickey Rooney really belted it out. The one couple I identified with were the two who wanted to see "everything" in Manhattan. I tried to do it in a day and it is just impossible. During their tours, the scenery shots show the twin towers of the World Trade Center about 5 or 6 times. It just made me think...there used to be no way to take a scenery shot of lower Manhattan without including them then films like _Spiderman_ felt pressured to edit them out and now film makers try to avoid having to deal with it. Sad...
