Movie Info

Comprised of classic teen movie elements scattered like croutons over a salad, this undistinguished high school drama involves several inconsequential stories at once, set in a seven-day period before the beginning of school. Tom Drake (Christopher Penn, Sean's brother) is a high-school wrestler who loves Eileen (Jenny Wright), but she is more than just a little dubious about their relationship. Since her lecherous boss (Rick Moranis) will not leave her alone, men are at a low ebb in her life.

R, 1 hr. 36 min.

Audience Reviews for The Wild Life

An average teen drama like Fast Times at Ridgemont High and other like it. The cast is good, and the characters are interesting, but the story is all over the place. This movie could have been better.

I found out about this movie from seeing the Bananarama music video of their song for the movie, which made it look funny and interesting. In reality, it was not very funny or interesting. It does have a lot of good actors, but the movie itself is mediocre.
