Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.

a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.
Myron Clemons
A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.
Billie Morin
This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

not too much about this cheese is known, just that it was an early role for michael j. fox. there are a few other notable actors as well.the plot basically revolves around a few teams going on a scavenger hunt put on by some nerdy college student. the teams scatter around the city facing various obstacles.it's not much, but it works. the film will keep you interested and the characters will keep you engaged. like i said, i paid a dollar for it and i don't feel that it was a poor investment. it's an unusual movie filled with a different slapstick movie, filled with interesting topics and cultural references during the time of its making.

As usual: watch out for movies with two directors. This thing took Siue and me about two months to get through, we could only handle ten minutes at a sitting. Four large teams of frat boys (and one of frat dykes), set out on a grandly orchestrated treasure hunt around the city. I have never seen any movie ever that was so wrong about how funny it thought it was being. You can tell when a scene is about to end because every single time there's a five-second pause for you to laugh...at what? Nothing anyone does ever makes sense. The characters and situations are such stereotypes you barely register that they're there. Eddie Deezen does his shtick when he can steal some screen time from a completely obnoxious Stephen Furst; David Naughton pulls such an Adam West routine on the clues you want to turn him into a werewolf; a practically infantile Michael J. Fox debuts as a sullen and petulant nonentity; and Paul Reubens gets ONE line of dialogue. The 'moral' - don't be an a**hole - definitely isn't going to change anyone's life. The movie doesn't end, it just stops. The theme song is stuck in my head two weeks later and I resent it deeply. This movie isn't just bad - it is unwelcome in my house. I loathe it. I want it to die. I'm giving it a two because a one feels like too much of an accomplishment.

This is a must see for any 80s junkie. Fun and innocent, and all at night! Nothing like all of the college buddy groups going on an all nighter. Who would have thought the guy who put it all together could be such a ladies man, there's hope for us all. Sure it would never happen, but after seeing this you'll wish it did. Look for all of the cast who went on to have bigger and badder days in Hollywood. Enjoy all of the Los Angeles landmarks that have come and gone, or just don't look like they used to. Take this romp, if you liked other memorable films such as 'Scavenger Hunt', 'One Crazy Summer', or more recently, 'Rat Race'.Enjoy!

"Animal House"-styled mess concerning five groups of college-aged kids going on a scavenger hunt across the city. There are the nerds, the girls, the boys, the rich kids and the poor kids (led by David Naughton and a very young Michael J. Fox, in his first film). The greatest rivalry comes between the rich snobs and the working-class group that has nothing given to them easily. Really a rotten drag is the best way to describe "Midnight Madness". It is appropriate for all audiences, but really who would be bored enough to watch this? 2 stars out of 5.
