Summary: Not great but not bad.
Review: All the right moves was not bad or great. Football movie with Tom Cruise who acting is not bad. Not his best or worst. And yes, there is brief frontal nudity for the main leads CRUISE & THOMPSON. Nothing like Kevin Bacon in WILD THINGS. Rent All The Right Moves and if you love it, cheak out Any Given Sunday.

Summary: If you're from Johnstown...
Review: All The Right Moves was not one of Tom Cruise's more popular movies, suprising, being that he had just filmed Risky Business. There are really only a couple of ways you could love this movie: 1) You're a BIG Tom Cruise fan, 2) You're from Johnstown (where it was filmed... that's where I'm from originally), 3) You LOVE cheesy 80's movies... or, 4) You'd like to see a younger Lea Thompson naked. If you fall into any or all of these categories, this is the movie for you, my friend. A young Tom Cruise as Stephen "Steph" Georgevick struggles to make something of himself and get out of the steel town of AMPIPE (American Pipe & Steel). His dream; to be an engineer because it's "about time someone in the family has a say in what to do after the steel is made." His ticket out, a football scholarship, is jeopardized by the evillll Craig T. Nelson, his coach...The plot is your standard 80's model teen-angst-struggle-to-overcome-obstacle movie with the soundtrack to match. Also, if you're a big fan of Chris Penn, then this is your best bet...

Summary: Lucky for the coach this wasn't Boston or Philadelphia
Review: ALL THE RIGHT MOVES will hold your interest for a while. But the movie paints itself into a corner - it winds up hinging on whether or not the high school football coach will forgive his star player for vandalizing his home. Hardly riveting drama. The blue-collar town mood of ALL THE RIGHT MOVES seems realistic. Actress Lea Thompson plays the most All-American young woman I have ever seen on the silver screen. And the film does not exaggerate the kooky love-hate relationship sports fans have with their teams, if you recall what happened to pro athletes Bill Buckner and Mitch Williams after they blew big games. See ALL THE RIGHT MOVES on television, where it's good value.

Summary: "He's got to make all the right moves."
Review: Because "Risky Business" gets all the attention for being Tom Cruise's breakout film, Michael Chapman's "All the Right Moves" has often been unfairly overlooked or just outright forgotten. That is a shame because Cruise's "other" coming-of-age film is a highly entertaining effort that deserves to be mentioned in the same breath as his more high profile projects. Cruise plays Stefan Djordjevic, a high school football player who dreams of being awarded a college scholarship in order to escape a future in the steel mills. However, Stefan's short temper often gets the best of him and his relationship with his high school coach (Craig T. Nelson) becomes strained after he participates in an incident that leaves the coach's house vandalized. With the help of his high school sweetheart, Lisa (Lea Thompson), Stefan starts to get his act together and ultimately gets his life back on track. "All the Right Moves" proves that Tom Cruise had tremendous screen presence from the very beginning. His scenes with Nelson and Thompson provide dazzling hints of greater things still to come. Nelson, who may be better known for his comedic side, turns in an especially strong supporting performance as the coach who is both Stefan's tormentor and supporter at the same time. The story of the small-town kid dreaming to escape his surroundings for better things has been told so many times on television and film in so many different ways that it would be easy to dismiss "All the Right Moves" as just another tired re-telling. However, a familiar story is still engaging if told well and this film is proof of that.

Summary: All the right Movies
Review: Being a native of Johnstown I hve more than one reason to like this film (I don't cosider it partality since I dont like ths Slapshot movie which was also filmed here) its a great coming of age film and a tale of a blue collar character struggling to make his big break something anybody living in Johnstown can understand. Lea Thompson naked also doesn't hurt the film either and Tom Cruise shows a bit of the talent that got him where he is today. One thing though if you Stef had it tough back then trust me it's worse now, but enough of ditching the town. i recomend this movie to any football, coming of age, tom cruise, or just plain good movie fan. it made all the right moves.

Summary: Great high school football story set in a small mining town
Review: Great story of a high school football player trying to escape the rut his family and friends have fallen into by working in the local steel mill. Cruise wants a football scholarship to a good university, but first must overcome the obstacles set by this small mining town and himself.

Summary: You can almost smell the wet, grass stained uniform.
Review: Having grown up and played football in Western Pennsylvania, every bit of "All The Right Moves" brings back emotions, thoughts, memories and even smells. Even if you are not from Pittsburgh, you can appriciate the frustration this film captures of just wanting a better way of life. I hope any body viewing this film, at least can appreciate what the backbone of this country experiences. I never realized it until I moved to Los Angeles, the respect I have for my home town. I will very soon be moving my family back. Every time I see this movie I remember who I am and how proud I am of my heritage.

Summary: WORTH A VIEWING
Review: I recently bought 'All The Right Moves' on DVD after not seeing this film for a good number of years. And I must say I recommend this film, it's worth a viewing and I think one will even return and want to view it again. Tom Cruise is classic, he does what he does best-his likability. Lea Thompson is adorable and a talented actress as always. Worth the buy!
