Weekend at Dunham's

About This Movie

Weekend at Dunham's has this offbeat charm that really captures that awkward teenage humor. The premise of two kids accidentally offing their film teacher is both dark and oddly relatable, right? The pacing kind of lags in spots, especially during the setup, but once they start their cover-up, it picks up in a way that keeps you engaged. The performances aren't bad; there's a genuine feel to the kids' panic and misguided attempts to fix things. The practical effects, while not groundbreaking, serve the story without overshadowing it. It’s this blend of tension and comedy that makes it stand out in a sea of teen films from that era. You can see that they were going for something a bit different, even if they didn't fully hit the mark.
