All the Right Moves
Added 10/28/2009
This movie was also a little slow. What was interesting is the fact that a coach would try and blackball a player from going to college.

Just a Cruise film for teenagers
Added 5/28/2009
The Polish kid in a steal town wants to get out by playing football
and become an engineer.
There are sex scenes with Lea Thompson, besides drama with the coach,
but it just isn't a very original
or inspiring film ( Cruise did sport films better later?).

There once was a crooked man on a crooked path
Added 1/22/2008
Now approaching mid-life, this is one of the films that I grew up with. This film was especially touching for me due to the fact that about the time this film came out, I was heading off to college. In truth, at the time I mostly enjoyed this film for the famous, or perhaps infamous nude scene between Tom Cruise and Lea Thompson. Such as it is with most teenagers. As I grew older I developed a deeper appreciation for the story, beyond that one scene. All the Right Moves is a good title, but doesn't really fit the film, as the characters of the film, as in real life, make choices that are not always the best. Like most of us, the characters land on their feet like the cats we covet despite choices and circumstances. Overall this is a good film to recommend for the young adult. This film can be viewed by the pre-teenager, but older persons should be around to discuss any questions viewers might have. Thus the rating, average. It's not the perfect classic, but a classic never-the-less.

entertaining but conflict is resolved too easily
Added 9/21/2007
This is a fairly formulaic film with a synthesizer-based soundtrack, quite common in the 1980s. It's entertaining enough, with a small-town guy trying to find a way out of the stifling environment and the seemingly lackluster future if he stays. Of course he has a love interest, a coach he clashes with, and dreams of college.
The problem is this: the ending is quite anticlimactic, with the coach relenting and finally granting a scholarship to the fellow, apparently because the fellow's girlfriend guilted the coach into doing so. This all happens in the last few minutes, so it's really more of a deus ex machina than a true resolution.
