5.0 out of 5 stars IT'S NOT JUST A CAR!, Jun 16 2006
By THE CRITIC "MOVIE MANIAC" (Windsor, Ontario Canada) - See all my reviews
(TOP 100 REVIEWER)   
This review is from: Corvette Summer (DVD)
THE DVD RELEASE OF CORVETTE SUMMER HAS FINALLY REPLACED MY OLD TAPED VHS COPY FROM TELEVISION.KUDO'S TO WARNER STUDIOS FOR RELEASING THIS CLASSIC 70'S CAR MOVIE ON DVD.IT'S A BAREBONES RELEASE AS FAR AS DVD'S GO,BUT I'LL TAKE IT.THE VIDEO TRANSFER IS REALLY NICE AND THE SOUND IS VERY GOOD.IT'S TOO BAD THIS ONE WASN'T IN 5.1 DIGITAL GIVEN IT'S SOUNDTRACK.NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES I WATCH THIS MOVIE,I STILL FIND IT VERY ENTERTAINING.THE STORY IS OK AND THE INTERACTION BETWEEN MARK HAMILL AND ANNIE POTTS CHARACTERS IS PRETTY FUNNY.I HAVE TO ADMIT,WATCHING ANNIE POTTS PLAY THE PART OF A SKINNY WANNABE HOOKER IS PRETTY HILARIOUS.IN THE END THIS MOVIE IS REALLY ALL ABOUT THE CAR.

3.0 out of 5 stars A Forgotten Classic..., April 27 2004
By Jenny Hayes Rhoten (San Jose, CA USA) - See all my reviews
Corvette Summer may seem like a cheesy 70's made-for-tv movie, but it is, in fact, an enjoyable little film. Essentially, the story revolves around a car freak by the name of Kenny Dantley (played by Mark Hamill). He spends the entire summer tracking down a stolen Corvette that he helped build in his shop class. There are many familiar faces: Annie Potts from Designing Women (who received a Golden Globe nomination for her performance), Danny Bonaduce from The Partridge Family, etc...

70's preservationists as well as Las Vegas desert enthusiasts will be quite impressed. The story has a decent moral message as well. You may ask yourself through the film whether or not Kenny takes a real shower, but, overall, it's definitely at least a rental.

5.0 out of 5 stars Let's see this on DVD (Widescreen)!
I loved this movie as a kid, and bought the VHS! I've owned three Corvette's in my life so far, and this movie was definitely an inspiration to the obsession. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars WHY ISN'T THIS MOVIE AVAILABLE ON DVD???
One of my "guilty pleasure" favorites. Mark Hamill and Annie Potts are a great comedy team. NOTE TO M.G.M. - PLEASE RELEASE THIS MOVIE ON DVD !! (Widescreen, of course!)

3.0 out of 5 stars Mark Hammil, Cars: i.e. Corvettes, and 1970's obsession.
After Star Wars was released Mark Hammil stared in this movie about his dream car which he came across in a junk yard and supped up and heavily customized during his high school... Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars Seventies Retro and a Lot of Fun
I remember when this movie was first released in the seventies. I couldn't believe this was the film that came out, just after Hamill's Star Wars debut. Read more
