The Allnighter (1987) is a sun-soaked teen comedy about friendship, self-discovery, and letting loose before life changes forever.
Directed by Tamar Simon Hoffs, the film follows a group of college seniors on the brink of graduation as they navigate one final night of romance, beach parties, and emotional revelations.
Susanna Hoffs, best known as the lead singer of The Bangles, takes center stage as Molly Morrison, a sweet and introspective college student searching for something deeper before stepping into adulthood.
With her natural charm, expressive eyes, and effortless cool, Hoffs brings a quiet sincerity to the role that sets her apart from typical ’80s teen movie leads. Though the film itself received mixed reviews, Hoffs’ presence—and her dreamy California-girl energy—gave The Allnighter a cult following. It remains a nostalgic gem for fans of beachside coming-of-age stories and 1980s pop culture.
