A question about this movie


I've been looking for a movie for ages now and I can't seem to remember which one it is. I asked my older sister and she thinks it's Dance 'til Dawn, but I can't verify it because I can't seem to find a copy.

So I was wondering if somebody who saw this could tell me, is there a scene in this movie where it turns out that the geeky/protected girl's father was a real badass in school who streaked once? And that one of the cool guys' father was actually a geek in highschool who got picked on by the badass dad?

That seems to be the only thing I remember so I'm hoping this is it so I can finally stop wondering!

Thanks in advance if anyone knows!

Yes, this is the film. Kelsey Grammer played Tracey Gold's over protective father and TRacey Gold is Dull Stroll. Alan Thicke plays the "cool" dad to a geek. It's revealed in the final scene that in high school, Kelsey's character was a wild kid who streaked a girls' gym class and knocked up his now-wife while Alan's character was a total geek who took his aunt to prom and tried to pass her off as a cocktail waitress.
