"Nobody fucks with the Baldies!"Set in 1963 in a New York suburb, this is the coming of age story of Richie (Ken Wahl), an Italian American kid, and his pals who call themselves the wanderers. It chronicles his life in high school as he tries to get his girlfriend to put out, has some rumbles with other neighborhood gangs and keeps out of the way of his girlfriends father, who runs the bowling alley with is mafia like brothers.
What is essentially a light weight story manages to place some pathos in between the comedy and violence, giving an extra slice of life feel to this standard coming of age film.
