All the Right Moves
895
Drama
The only way football star Stefan Djordjevic (Tom Cruise) will avoid a life in the blast furnaces of his bleak Pennsylvania hometown is by winning a college scholarship. Even his coach (Craig T. Nelson) dreams of parlaying a winning team into a college job far away from this graveyard of the American Dream. But it's not too long before the two virtually ruin each other's chances for escape and their door to the future starts to close.

Canada | The Globe and Mail | "A surprisingly large portion of the picture is given over to a gritty and unexpectedly moving examination of a senseless but understandable feud between two wrongheaded, sincere people making all the wrong moves." | POS |
United States | Time | "This naive little movie hopes to prove itself the Flashdance of football." | NEU |
United States | Chicago Sun-Times | "Two people finally tell each other the truth. This is, of course, an astonishing breakthrough in movies about teenagers, and All the Right Moves deserves it." | POS |
United States | TV Guide | "This cliche-riddled picture was the directorial debut of veteran cinematographer Michael Chapman, who took no risks in his first time out." | NEG |
United States | The New York Times | "A well-made but sugar-coated working-class fable" | POS |
