I can't really say enough about this movie. I'm now in my mid-30's and miss the days when movies like this were new. Yes, the acting had it's moments of pure cheese, and the audio dubbing left some things to be desired, but the ESSENCE of the movie was flawless...
Jason Bateman and the rest of the cast of this film did an excellent job of playing their roles. The actual context of the movie has been done over and over again, but I've personally never seen one done better than this movie. The entire film is a roller coaster of emotions, but in the end...it will nail you. I'm a full-grown man, and openly admit that this film had me in tears at the end. Such a moving and emotional film. I'm surprised this never made it big.
People who give this a low to no rating are narrow minded people who only think that epic films truly deserve high ratings, and anyone PAID to give a review of a movie, you can just take their advice and throw it out of the window. The majority rules in movie rating and the majority of people who've seen it, LOVED it, as did I. I will find this somewhere and make a DVD out of it. Must see film if you're a child of the 80s-90s.
