User Reviews

really?

while definitely not a "10," i was a tenaager in 1981 and found it mildly entertaining. I viewed it as a somewhat "coming of age" type of movie so took it at face value. I don' even remember Mickey Rooney even being in this movie nor his sigifcance to the plot at all. Just remember going through some coming of age issues myself and it rang true to me! :) As a bidding musician remember the coundrack more than anything and sometimes still hear it in my head when I am walking about town or in some other city! So that is my take on this pretty run of the mill TV movie. If I desired something more significant, I would not tune into a TV movie for it, for that I'd go to the movies which i do often.
