One Crazy Summer (1986)

In this cheesy 80s comedy, an aspiring cartoonist named Hoops McCann (John Cusack) goes with his best friend (Joel Murray) to Nantucket for the summer where he meets a young singer (Demi Moore) and must compete in a sailing regatta to win back her grandparents' house from greedy land developers. Much of the filming was done around Falmouth, MA with a few scenes shot on Nantucket Island.

The high school graduation scene was filmed outside the old Barnstable High School which is now Pope John Paul II High School at 120 High School Road in Hyannis Port, MA.
