Terrific 80s flick!

Rating: Null/10 (14 April 2000)

This film boasts outstanding performances by Kevin Bacon and John Lithgow, a plausible plot (certainly more plausible than the plot in Flashdance!) and great 80s music! I love the fact that while the Kevin Bacon character was a rebel, he stood up for what he felt was right and did so in a non-violent way. Also the way the adults, especially the Lithgow character, were treated with sympathy and respect. I love the scene where the Kevin Bacon character teaches the Chris Penn character to dance to the tune of "Let's Hear It For The Boy"!
