Customer Reviews

Some of Matt Dillon's best work came from this film
If you enjoy Matt Dillon, you will enjoy this film. I thought Matt brought a lot of heart to the film. Cindy Fisher is excellent as well. Rent or buy this film today. If you have seen this movie on video and were not happy with the way it ended, see it on DVD it has the happier ending.

I LOVE THIS LOVE STORY :)
This movie starring Matt Dillion right before he played a bad boy in "The Outsiders" was a sweet tragic love story, almost like "Romeo and Juliet." I liked the acting and the storyline. A sweet teen movie. I recommend you buy it or watch it on Encore's Love Stories channel, which frequently shows it.

For Teen Girls
This is an early Matt Dillon movie. He looks like he's 17 years old. Cindy Fisher plays the sweet rich girl that falls unexplainably in love with a local poor heartthrob. Hmmm, yes, he's good to look at and Dillon is polite, but it's hard to say what quality of speech or physicality attracts Fisher. Then there are the usual difficulties of youth and thorny parents. This one has a twist that only seems to happen if the setting is the South, Texas, or Bill Clinton's hometown of Hope, AK. I won't let the main complexity out of the bag, but our star-crossed lovers have their hands full.

There's plenty here to thrill and enchant a teen girl. The plot is all melodrama, soap opera, and teen-sex stage show. There are elements of humor to relieve the relentless drama: a greased pig contest, a drinking bout, prep boy gets sick on a carnival whip, or Dillon pays for Fisher's kiss at the same carnival. These chuckles reminded me of American Pie, a later and far superior film. The drama is Rebel Without a Cause, but it's inferior to the older film. Again, this one is for Matt Dillion fans and teen girls.
