Light indie melodrama that at least has nostalgic sun, sea, sand, sex, beers, blue skies, cool cars, hot-bods in swim-suits, and a fine (if obvious) soundtrack

Miss the sun? Then check out indie writer / director king Edward Burns' 2018 80s-based autobiopic "Summer Days Summer Nights". One Long Beach summer sensitive teen Pico Alexander works for his single dad (Burns) at the beach while navigating heartache, new love (Lindsey Morgan), plans for the future, etc... as do others like Caitlin Stasey, Rita Volk (great), Carly Brooke & Anthony Ramos. While far too light & melodramatic to match the likes of "Do The Right Thing", "The Tender Bar", "The Way Way Back" or "The Fabelmans", it still has nostalgic sun, sea, sand, sex, beers, blue skies, cool cars, hot-bods in swim-suits, and a fine (if obvious) soundtrack.

THERE ARE BETTER VERSIONS OF THIS FILM

Overall this movie was not terrible. It was definitely cheesy and bad acting at times but it has a fun aesthetic to it. However 80s Long Island or New Jersey has been done better in so many more shows and movies. If you like this aesthetic but want better plot lines and romance go watch the following: Red Oaks (tv series on prime), Staten Island Summer (movie), and also Hot Summer Nights (movie). All of these do what this movie tried to do and do it way better.
