The producers could easily have turned movie this into a music video. The music was fantastic.The plot is a tiny bit old, but still I enjoyed it. The music aligns well with the plot as we hear Kim Wilde, Inxs, and others.This is a story of a love triangle in a one industry town. The one industry is the steel mill. A violent and rebellious outcast who wants to leave town and the popular and rich son of a steel mill executive, both want the same beautiful cheerleader, Tracy Prescott. If you watch the movie close you know which one Tracy should align with. After the two boys finally clash, right on cue with the start of "Roll Me Away", by Bob Seeger, one of them wins Tracy's heart.

I was still in Junior High when I saw this movie so it was kinda risqué to me. I thought Aidan Quinn was beautiful, especially in the shower scene! And I was already a fan of Daryl Hannah from Splash. I like the whole wrong side of the tracks love story idea. I felt bad that no one liked Johnny just cause he was poor and had a bad homelife. He was a really nice guy and he loved Tracy. The sex scenes were very good and very realistic. Daryl Hannah is one lucky girl to have gotten to play those scenes. The soundtrack is great and I wish I could purchase it. The "Kids in America" scene is awesome and ends with Tracy and Johnny in a pool. But the best scene is at the end when they play Bob Segers "Roll Me Away". I love that song!

Just another typical 80's youth film with two actors in their late twenties playing teenagers. Besides all that, you got yourself a sexy poolside scene where you have to wait through half the film to see it. You fot Aidan Quinn and Daryl Hannah doing a dare strip tease at their high school pool in the middle of the night. It's great. You got to admit it's one of the only reasons why people rent this movie in the first place. A decent story, decent acting, an overall worth see movie. Check it out!

This was a great movie! Aidan Quinn and Darryl Hannah were still innocent. I loved the soundtrack and the ease of viewing the picture. There's no violence or unpredictable nonsense. This is so rare with the new movies. This one's a classic.
