Review of American Flyers (1985) by Skyler B — 21 Oct 2010
I can watch this movie over and over and always feel happy inside.
Now I honesyly picked this up on DVD for $1. No lie. Only $1. 'American Flyers' isn't going to win any awards, cause the same writer won an oscar for Breaking Away, but he won't be here!
I enjoyed this film alot, and maybe more so then most. I know it comes off as pat, but sometimes a feel-good movie is all you need. Even if it is really more a touchy-feely film, then a feel-good film.
The performances are really good, even from the trainer's son, which was rather eccentric. The soundtrack, which was more along the line of both instrumental, and inspired, it was what made the film fee really good. Lifted the spirits. The song in the beggining really did that.
"While 'American flyers' can feel pat,and predictable, it can also warm your heart, and lift your spirit, and also get you watching a movie about a sport you'd most likely neever watch in your entire life".
True Rating: PG-13 For Language,Sexuality includding some female chest nudity(and near the beggining, if you have good eyes, some male frontal nudity for about half a second...lol)and some rough sports action.
