It’s not a bad movie, it’s just not a very good one either. Basically a mild formulaic comedy road movie with a truly horrific modified Corvette as the centerpiece. There isn’t much to it at all; Mark Hamill gets the car back, the girl, slight justice prevails. . .shrug. It’s biggest problem is that after “Star Wars” it seems like a huge step down for Mark Hamill, but you have to remember that he was a young, starving actor at the time - while his iconic role grew in stature, he still had to get out there and hustle, and this was one of the ways Mark did it. But next to The Franchise, “Corvette Summer” is a grim reminder that ol’ Luke Skywalker was played by an actor who was trying to have a career.
