Review of Personal Best (1982) by Richard Schickel for TIME Magazine — 03 Aug 2008
Neither slick nor glib, they all suit a film that may finally disarm everyone with its full-frontal naturalness, its unsmirking bawdiness, its obvious liking for athletes as people, and its refusal (most of the time) to poeticize sport.
Personal Best is likable precisely because it is so unembarrassed.
