Advantages: Some might enjoy a naked Tom Cruise, OK story Disadvantages: made silly by the snogging and sex story, dated
...I had not seen it all yet. Before I did manage to get about 20 minutes in but by this point I was so bored I turned it off. Last night me and hubby decided to give it a proper watch and see if we felt any different about it.
A very young Tom Cruise plays the role of Stefan Djordjevic who is a school boy dreaming of winning a football scholarship so he can move away from his small town and make something of himself.

Advantages: Good directing and acting Disadvantages: Weak plot
...Tom Cruise plays an all american sports star very well. The innocence and arroagnce of youth comes forward very well in his portrayal of Stefen. Craig T Nelson is the hard nosed coach aiming for promotion, and Lea Thompson provides the love interest. The supporting cast give a solid but unmemorable performance, as Cruise and Nelson command the screen. Their on screen tussle as coach and player is very well directed and acted.

I found ... ...is the acting, but I feel the plot doesn't really have that much that is impressive about it.

Conclusion
An enjoyable film, though not impressive.
I rate this film at 3 stars out of 5.
The DVD is available from amazon.co.uk ...
