Justine Bateman is Jennie Lee, the valedictorian of her high school class, with two things on her mind- to rock and to roll. She also wants to have fun. She and her oddball friends have a band called Mystery, and are determined to rock their way to the top.

They steal a van from their gangland enemy and drive to another town where they break into Martin Falcon (Liam Neeson) an aging burnout songwriter suffering from writer’s block’s house. They are auditioning for a summer-long gig at Falcon’s club, and of course knock the audience dead with their vapid pop hits. Jennie has an affair with Martin, and lo! she is his muse! He can write again!

Meanwhile, internal problems are almost forcing the band to split up– Billie (Britta Phillips) can’t seem to just say “no.” Daryle (Julia Roberts) gets back together with her high school fiance for a 24-hour long booty marathon in the back of the stolen van, and Mooch (Trini Alvarado) can’t seem to stop being sarcastic all of the time. But they persevere through thick and thin, until the end of the movie when mysteriously, Mystery breaks up. This is a fun goofy film to watch with lots of friends and a large bag of junior mints.
