I love the "Summer Nights" song, but the rest of the movie I find rather boring. It doesn't help that all actors look at least 10 years too old for their roles.

A good episode. It is a good idea that Spike tries to split the Scoobies up by creating a rift between them. Though in my opinion this happened too easily.
