Almost Summer

In this hilarious teen movie that paved the way for Fast Times at Ridgemont High (1982) and The Breakfast Club (1985), Bobby DeVito (Bruno Kirby) is the "senior campaign strategist" in a highly contested high school student body presidential election. Christine Alexander (Lee Purcell) is Bobby's former girlfriend who's almost guaranteed to win the election... because her opponent got suspended. To get even with Christine for breaking up with him, Bobby puts up an unknown candidate, Darryl Fitzgerald (John Friedrich)-and the presidential race gets nasty. This irresistible '70s cult comedy classic from director Martin Davidson features Didi Conn, Tim Matheson and a rockin' soundtrack from Mike Love of The Beach Boys.
