Caliornia Dreaming. I snuck into this movie back in 79 cause I was only 13 and couldn't buy a ticket!
An uncool guy from the midwest somewhere (Dennis Christopher) moves out to Southern Cal and tries to become cool on the beach with all the beach bum, surfer, Malibu barbies. Meets a local girl (Glynnis O'Connor) and falls in love. Standard romance plot follows. Don't remember how it ended, it's been a few years!
Hope this helps!

I usually go to imdb.com for movie questions, so perhaps you'll find more info there if you really need it.
Glynnis O'Connor did a lot of TV stuff in the '70s -- Boy in the Plastic Bubble, Ode to Billie Joe. She was kind of the Valerie Bertinelli/Melissa Gilbert/insert-appropriate-TV movie-actress of her day and I sure did want to be Glynnis (especially being in a movie with JT).
I guess I missed this movie what with it being overshadowed by "Breaking Away" which is one of those coming-of-age things that you can't not watch over & over. Dennis has had a checkered movie history but he'll pop up now & then on the indie circuit.

It was solid, but the ending always made me cry. It was one of the most beautiful moments ever frozen in film history.
