Warner Archive’s Blu-Ray release of Savage Steve Holland’s nutty 1986 romp ONE CRAZY SUMMER (93 mins., 1986, PG; Warner Archive) marks a splendid way to celebrate the summer season: a guilty pleasure with high-spirited fun and plenty of laughs. A sequel of sorts to Holland’s semi-classic teen comedy “Better Off Dead,” “Summer” reunites stars John Cusack and Curtis Armstrong in a tale of a high school graduate who ventures to Nantucket for the summer.

There the memorably named “Hoops McCann” meets pretty singer Demi Moore, runs afoul of an evil land developer and becomes acquainted with local yokels Bobcat Goldthwait and Tom Villard. There are gags ranging from a parody of “Jaws” to a surprisingly hysterical moment involving the boiling of lobsters and Bobcat donning a Godzilla costume – it’s all in the name of ’80s teen comedy fun, and on that level, few films deliver the way this one does, right down to the big sailboat climax (yes, one also used by the previous year’s wan John Candy comedy “Summer Rental,” but more effectively staged here).

Now available in a gorgeous Warner Archive Blu-Ray (1.85, albeit with a slight lip sync issue), “One Crazy Summer” offers lovely Nantucket shooting locales naturally captured by DP Isidore Mankofsky. The mono sound is crisply delivered, featuring a score credited to Cory Lerios but with some rousing orchestral moments in its climax that may well be the work of credited “Additional Music” composer James D. Pasquale. For extras, Warner has carried over the enjoyable DVD commentary from Holland, Goldthwait and Armstrong plus the trailer.
