Good Movie, Benson must be a natural athlete!, 11 March 2004
10/10
Author: Scott (driftrss2@aol.com) from Charlotte NC

The movie is dated, but I still enjoy it. I guess I remember watching it the first time. The whole coming of age thing, growing up, etc.

What has really impressed me is Robby Benson's development over the years. He must be a good athlete: basketball, hockey, running, all seem to come naturally to him. I don't see the telltale back shots of doubles.

I enjoyed his acting and would like to see more. The last I heard he was teaching at USC. No not that one! The first one! The real one! The University of South Carolina in Columbia.

I would like to see what he could do with a mature role now.
