DVD Synopsis

The crux of this limited, juvenile comedy is a complex game that begins at midnight and ends by morning. Of main interest is the fact that a young Michael J. Fox plays one of the students involved in the game. Leon (Alan Solomon) has spent a year creating the game and practically needs that long to convince his fellow students to play it. Eventually he wins out, and the various teams of classic stereotypes -- the nerd, the well-groomed hero, the obnoxious sorority sister, the easily duped freshman, and others -- all converge on Los Angeles at midnight. Their treks take them through the Griffith Observatory which because of those odd hours astronomers keep, could conceivably be open. Other locales are interestingly open too, apparently Los Angeles never sleeps. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, All Movie Guide

Editorial Review of DVD

This frantic teen comedy -- which was one of Disney's first PG-rated efforts as the studio began branching out from the strict family fare, which had been the company's trademark -- gets a straightforward presentation in this DVD edition. Midnight Madness has been given a full-screen transfer to disc in the aspect ratio of 1.33:1, and the audio has been mastered in Dolby Digital Mono. The dialogue is in English, with an alternate French-dubbed soundtrack and Spanish subtitles also included. No additional bonus materials have been included. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

Ruth M. (spatzlemaker) from BEAVERTON, OR wrote on 4/24/2009...

I make no apologies, this movie is hilarious. It is so bizarre and silly. If you like off-beat comedies, you'll be hooked by the opening roller-skating sequence. Invite some friends over, let the alcohol flow and watch it!
