Alien at the Movies

Summer Days, Summer Nights

In 1982 on Long Island, an ensemble of high school kids & twenty-somethings working summer beach jobs fall in & out of love as they wrestle with the future holds for them as the summer comes to an end & the real world beckons to them. It’s breakups & separations, new relationships & ex’s reuniting, summer flings & emotional entanglements as young hearts yearn & burn from Memorial Day to Labor Day at beach with 80’s tunes pumped into the background. It’s a nosy look back produced by, written by, directed by, & costarring Edward Burns.

Alien gives it 2½ “the valet” stars out of 4.
