Summary: Gives 80s Teen Movies A Bad Rap
Review: I saw this movie because I love 80s teen movies and I also like Anthony Michael Hall...but I have to say that this movie sorely disappointed me. Though it does have it's moments, it is nothing near some of his other 80s films such as "16 Candles" and "The Breakfast Club." If you're looking for a cheesy but fun 80s movie, try "Love Bites," a very funny and silly vampire movie with Adam Ant.OK, maybe I shouldn't complain about being disappointed...after all, the premise of the movie isn't very exciting. Johnny is a highschool senior and football star who has all the top football schools after him. Basically the movie is about his visiting the different schools and the various ways they try to "bribe" him to go there. Meanwhile, there is a tiny amount of conflict with his girlfriend, played by Uma Thurman (this is her first role), about his going to State with her. Johnny's friend, played by Robert Downey, Jr., is supposed to add some more comedy to the movie (at least I think so), but he is so bizarre it's hard to even laugh at him. Basically my problem with this movie is that it really isn't all that funny; and it doesn't have much of a plot. I know, I know, what do you expect, it's a cheesy 80s flick. Basically, I think there are many more great 80s movies out there than this one, even though I do have to admit that seeing AMH in that silly purple outfit is sort of funny.

Summary: Great football movie
Review: i thought this movie was great. The only other football movie that I would say is better than this is Varsity Blues. I'd recommend it.

Summary: warning the DVD movie is censored
Review: I've been a big fan of this movie since it first came out, with that said I give the movie alone a 5 star rating. However, the MGM DVD release is edited, which brings the score way down. There's a scene in the movie where Johnny is playing football to win back his girlfriend from her father, during the game 3 cheerleaders flash the cops to distract them. This has been edited and all that is shown is them starting to lift their shirts then it cuts quickly to the next scene. Now I didn't buy this movie for the nudity but censorship in any form is just unforgivable especially when it's unnecessary because all the other scenes containing nudity (that I can remember) are intact. Though more scenes could have been edited I'm not sure. The DVD extras include only one trailer for the movie, so it's basically barebone which I expected it to be. I still suggest you buy this DVD the quality is excellent just a little warning it's not the original.

Summary: Great Football Flick
Review: It's a great football story with an excellent ending.
Johnny Walker is a sought after Senior Quarterback who has College Universities looking to sign him to a commitment under "any means necessary", and that means breaking all the rules.
Meanwhile Uma Thurman plays his girlfriend who helps Johnny reach for the stars, but keep his feet firmly on the ground. The ending has a wonderful message too.

Summary: Absolute garbage
Review: Just watched part of this on comedy central and would liken it to watching a train wreck. So horrible sometimes its tough to look away. It seems as if they are actually making up the script as they go along.
