Summary: EVERYBODY'S ALL WORKED UP OVER TOUCHDOWNS AND FOREPLAY
Review: "Everybody's All American" is the story of Gavin Grey(Dennis Quaid)a guy who goes from stud-muffin to couch potato faster than you can say touchdown. In this endevor he's aided by Jessica Lange - the no-good-for-him love of his life. Taylor Hackford directs with slick style and lots of heart this story better suited for reruns of "General Hospital" than a big screen romance. Nevertheless, and happily so, the film works on all levels.
TRANSFER: Very respectable effort from Warner Brothers with rich, vibrant colors, deep blacks and some nicely balanced colors and contrast levels. On the down side, some scenes appear to have a slightly hazy look to them and there is considerable film grain in a few scenes and age related artifacts to contend with. Overall, however, an adequate remastering effort.
EXTRAS: The director gives us his personal insight into the making of this film which isn't really as insightful as one might imagine. There's also a trailer.
BOTTOM LINE: If you like schmaltz with your beer then this one has it all. If the only thing that excites you is touchdowns then Monday Night Football is a better fit.

Summary: Fabulous
Review: I loved this movie but no one mentions Timothy Hutton in their reviews. I thought he nearly stole the show, and I loved every scene with him. Very entertaining with a mix of live action sports romance and great 50/60 tunes. Lange is gorgeous.

Summary: A LOVE STORY
Review: I loved this movie. I'm not a big football fan, but there was enough sports and enough romance to keep both me and my husband entertained throughout the movie. It's a peek into into the turbulent and chaotic life of a diehard, aging football hero who never let's the team down, and his beautiful, naive, trophy wife. Throughout the entire movie, you are routing for both the team and the marriage. When you think that love has lost, it's just begininng. If anyone knows who sings the ending song, I think it's called, "It's Forever", please email me with the artist's name. Thanks-

Summary: Good, but no classic
Review: i remember working as a extra on the set of this movie when they were filming in baton rouge thirteen years ago.its been three years since i've left, and if i went back today, it would still be the same. Baton Rouge is a football mad town. it practically rivals Alabama of the importance the sport has on its people and when i was at LSU, i got caught up in the fever, going to most of the home games... And yes, The Golden Band Of Tigerland is good, but not as good as Southern University's The Human Jukebox. Dennis Quade has never been accused of being a great actor, and his performance here is ok. at times he seems more of a caricature, which is what is his character Gavin Grey is: the dumb jock who lives for football, but can't live without it off the field. Jessica Lange is a good actress, but she basically plays a trophy wife. when asked what she's majoring in college, her reply: " Gavin and me." Timothy Hutton's character was one of the few bright spots in the flim, so was Carl Lumbly's role as the black civil rights leader/entrepenuer who has higher goals in mind. John Goodman should stick to doing Television. he's at best a character actor. Watch this movie for the shots of Tiger Stadium and the glory that is southern football. That's all there is to this film. But down there, that's all they care about anyway
