Movie Info

Young stockbroker Max Hauser (Jon Cryer) has been selling fake bonds for the mob. When his mob contact is put on trial, the mobster's colleagues attempt to kill him -- so he changes his name to Andrew and enrolls in a high school as a cover. For a while, he enjoys being a troublemaker, starting a relationship with classmate Ryan Campbell (Annabeth Gish) and even pondering a run for class president. But it's only a matter of time before the mob tracks him down.

Why is it that good movie ideas are always being interrupted by goons with guns, and obligatory chase and fight scenes, just when we would actually be interested in how the characters were really feeling?

this movie is fun to watch, but mostly as a way to remember the fashions and styles of 1980s high school

Kevin Carr

A fun, fast comic-thriller that serves the talents of Cryer magnificently

Hiding Out never once approaches funny. Were it not for the parade of cliches and stereotypes stolen from various high-school comedies, I'd have assumed that this movie was a straight drama.

Sustained by Jon Cryer's charisma, this proves to be a fun outing.

An enjoyable and highly amusing teen flick

Man, I LOVED Jon Cryer in this movie... perhaps even moreso than in "Pretty in Pink." Sick? Maybe.

Great disguise, Cryer -- EXACTLY the sort of look you want when you don't want to call attention to yourself.
