The Lesson Learned: The Flamingo Kid
If you're looking for a typical '80s father-son disagreement, look no further. Jeffrey (played by the always-gorgeous Matt Dillon) wants to work at an upscale beach resort, but his father wants him to take a real job to learn the meaning of hard work...basically, it's every teenager's story, just throw in some gin rummy and people in bathing suits. This is a must-see, a much forgotten summer flick that is sure to have you rooting for the smart mouthed Jeffrey.
