REVIEWS:

• Although the legendary products of Western Pennsylvania high-school football have given their dying milltowns a somewhat romantic air in countless sports documentaries, reality is a much different thing. In this absorbing drama, Tom Cruise stars as a young cornerback prospect who dreams of being an engineer. Despite his love for pretty Lea Thompson and the respect with which he treats his millworker father, Cruise is desperate to get out of his decaying hometown, and knows that a football scholarship is his only ticket. Complications arise when he runs afoul of the team's coach (Craig T. Nelson in a well-played turn) and must face his own pride. The supporting cast is quite good, and Jan DeBont's gritty, evocative photography perfectly captures the film's tone. An unexpectedly moving drama which got lost among the sugar-coated teen trifles of its time, All the Right Moves is a thoughtful and involving story of holding on to a dream in the bleakest of surroundings. ~ Robert Firsching, Rovi
• David Seltzer's excellent film on the relationships between a trio of teenagers is a refreshing break from the run of cliche-ridden movies on this kind of material. The director's script focuses on a young high school kid's crush on a slightly older girl who becomes involved with the school's football star, as it explores the innocence, idealism, perennial infatuation, and alienation of adolescence. All of the characters seem fresh, and it's impossible to tell what will happen from moment to moment. Corey Haim gives a performance of considerable nuance as the "academically accelerated" Lucas, Kerri Green is excellent as the new girl in town, and Charlie Sheen gives one of his best screen performances as the sympathetic jock. Winona Ryder is also notable in her screen debut, as a girl with a crush on Lucas. ~ Michael Costello, Rovi
