Plot: Corey Haim plays 13-year-old Lucas, a bespectacled, bookish type who attracts school bullies like a magnet. Lucas befriends 16-year-old Kerri Green; she wants to be just friends, he'd like a more meaningful relationship. The boy introduces the girl to a world of intellectual pursuits of which she'd been previously unaware. She enjoys the attention, but is physically attracted to football jock Charlie Sheen, and becomes a cheerleader to be nearer to the young athlete. Lucas feels shut out once more, but is comforted to learn that Sheen is not just one more bully but a sensitive kid who sticks up for Lucas when the younger boy is being picked on. Still hoping to impress Kerri, Lucas tries out for the football team himself, threatening legal action when the coach tries to turn him down. This original and innovative teen-oriented film threatens to come to a hackneyed big touchdown climax. Instead, Lucas winds up in the hospital after being injured in a game, which earns him the respect of the rest of the team. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Lucas rocks
Added 9/1/2009

I ordered "Lucas" to enjoy with my 11yr old grandson, who's going out for football next year. The movie offers a lot of "messages" that I think got through: respect for others, respect for those a little different than ourselves, not following the pack, etc. We had great discussions about the characters afterward.

"Throw it to Lucas!"
Added 8/16/2009

The DVD has both full-screen & wide-screen editions on opposite sides. Video quality is what you'd expect from an 80s movie. There are no extras, but I didn't expect any. Disc is in a keeper case (not the half-paperboard variety). The movie, itself, is exactly as I remembered; a surprisingly confident nerdy kid tries his best to catch the eye of a girl. You can't help but like almost everyone in this movie. All-in-all, just a light, feel-good movie that doesn't become unbelievable.

80's movie
Added 4/28/2009

this was in my opinion a good movie. it's about a 14 year old kid who comes from the wrong side of the tracks and he falls in love with a beautiful 16 year old girl who's willing to be his friend but is in love with a football player. everyone including most of the football players are mean to him but become friends in the end.

Very good

This was a great movie. Kids and adults can both enjoy it. I am from Australia and It was hard to buy this movie in Australian shops so I bought it on Amazon. It was a Christmas present for my Nephew who is 13. He loved it. Its a good wholesome movie that many people may never of heard of because its old but its a great film for kids.
