First off Bloomington is where I grew up. And watching breaking away gives me a longing feeling for my home town. This movie well not entirely accurate about bloomington is plain and simple a bloomington thing. No where is this movie remembered like it is in good ole B-town. This is the only movie ever filmed in our town, it's the only movie to take place there so we love it.
All that asidethe movie is sweet little sleeper that is worth watching for the dialogue alone. Some of the acting by the minor characters is painful yes, but all the main cast do awesome. The witty dialogue is enough to make for an enjoyable movie. I don't think enough can be said about Paul Dooley as the dad or Daniel Stern. Both have me laughing with almost every line they spoke.
Breaking away is a great little movie about a great town.
