  Warner Archive gives this cult ’80s comedy a sunny, vibrant new 2K remaster that looks fantastic. Cape Cod’s beachy scenery bursts with color, from vivid signage to wild costumes. Detail is crisp, shadow depth is great, and animated cutaway scenes pop with cartoony energy. No artifacts or noise—just a clean, film-like presentation that’s miles ahead of the old DVDs.

Audio

• Track:

• Quality: ⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ (4.0/5)
  A clean, faithful mono mix with solid dialogue clarity and occasional directional effects. A few minor sync quirks (likely from original ADR) don’t detract much. No pops or hiss, and music and effects balance well with the goofy tone.

Special Features

• ⭐⭐☆☆☆ (2.0/5)
  • Audio Commentary with Savage Steve Holland, Bobcat Goldthwait, and Curtis Armstrong
  • Theatrical Trailer (1:32) – narrated in-character by Bobcat
    The commentary is fun, nostalgic, and informative—definitely worth the listen for fans. No new extras, but the classics return.

Review Summary:
One Crazy Summer is a goofy, loveably weird ’80s rom-com filled with cartoon hijinks, offbeat characters, and John Cusack charm. The new Blu-ray delivers a stellar visual upgrade, decent audio, and a fun group commentary—perfect for fans of Better Off Dead and other off-kilter summer flicks.
✅ RECOMMENDED for nostalgia seekers and ’80s comedy collectors.
