Movie Review
This movie pretty much is about a top high school football who is top star and many school recruiters are try to get him so where does he go well that up to him the movie is comedy and does have some laughs in it plot can of had a few plot holes it otherwise it not a bad movie and was can of Cheesy 80’s movie this also had a small Romance between Georgia and Johnny Walker not a whole though just some too me this was good but could of more Comedy because story seem can of boring as well could of been better and for ending would of like to know if he made it big or not but never did say anyway will say this a good fair movie in my view.

Acting
This was Uma Thurman film Debut she was cute and funny in this movie in this a great film debut for Uma who went on to play poison ivy years later in Batman and Robin years later as for Anthony Michael Hall most Roles In movies I like but this one seem can of goofing one so let say his acting was ok also did like Robert Downey JR. acting he was funny and he went on years later to play superhero Iron Man isn’t that something the acting was not the best but good.

Final thoughts
Seem like it was water down some but still funny with a great lineup but for the plot of movie could of see more to make it Shine movie anyway is it worth checking yes you might like it or not it is not worst I see.
