Rewatch: Hiding Out (1987)

June 26, 2026 — Wintermute

I just finished another 80's movie rewatch that I remember watching as a teen. This is the first time I've Hiding Out in decades. The quick summary is that a stockbroker is a whitness in a case against a mobster and has to go into hiding. He winds up at a highschool, where the administration mistakes him as a student, so he enrolls. Hilarily ensues.

It's a simple premise (actually, both... Person hiding from mobster and adult in high school) but it still works. It's funny, and it has touching parts as well. Overall, worth rewatching.
