Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThis film is best known as the first real attempt for Michael J. Fox to take on more serious roles after establishing himself as a comedic star. This is also one of the very few projects that Fox has smoked in front of the camera; although a chain smoker, he avoided being photographed with a cigarette, out of fear that this would encourage smoking.

Featured review
MJ Fox may have done his best serious acting here, but jett is better. A strange thing about the 70's runaways group. One chick, the one Dakota played in the biopic of the runaways recently, Cherrie Curie, did a great job acting in the 1980 movie Foxes.....and Joan nails it in 87...go figure....
A simple, very depressing, but realistic movie....slice of life stuff. Which, as someone mentioned, is obviously why it flopped at the BO. Very good bar band stuff from Jett here.....
Paul Schrader has never made a movie without merit. Keep in mind this is the guy who wrote the script for Taxi Driver and Raging Bull, so even his least movies have something to offer. Schrader deals in some very heavy, deep human motivations and inclinations in his flicks, and never made a movie that was light fluff yet. This is the closest to that claim, and even this movie has merit and substance. Prob the worst movie he made, but even this is good....
Let's face it, the guy has never made a bad movie...
