Henry Winkler has undeniable charm, but I wouldn't advise him to cancel his Fonz contract hastily.

The same script that regularly strains credulity well past the snapping point also provides a jolly enough vehicle for both Winkler and Ms. Field to break away from type and show the movie audience what they can do.

There is some sense of a much smaller, calmer movie interleaved with larger moments, although there is an iron spine of consistency and an accumulating power which is even more evident on a second viewing.

Harrison Ford redeems the middle section of this tripe as a redneck vet who blows off steam by racing cars and shooting his machine gun at night.

Rated: D-

Miami Herald

Capitalizing on other past hits, the feeble story also takes its cues from the romance and hitchhiking plot of It Happened One Night.

San Francisco Examiner

The poorly written script by James Carabatsos and the weak direction by Jeremy Paul Kagan tend to obscure the charm of the two protagonists and to leave a viewer unmoved by their plight.

Rated: 2/4

I enjoyed it and agree with some of the "civilian" reviewers. I also took friends on a tour of the location sites where some of the scenes were shot.

What can I say, I just liked it, I've seen a lot worse that were critically acclaimed and I think did not deserve it

It's super low-budget feeling and the dialogue is often a bit odd, but overall, I really enjoyed this film. Winkler and Field are charismatic and have a nice chemistry. The movie is about a Vietnam vet four years after the war, and it's fascinating and heartbreaking to see how those vets were treated at the time, and satisfying as hell to see Jack get his happy ending. A good thinker for sure. Winkler is flat-out riveting every moment he's on camera.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars

My Wife and I fell asleep, so let your conscience be your guide on this one. I would not recommend this movie.

Great performances by Sally Field and Henry Winkley. You also get to see Harrison Ford before he was famous. It's basically a quest movie where a troubled Vietnam Vet looks to reconnect with his old Army buddies.

I had not seen this movie til tonight. I absolutely loved it! Henry Winkler was amazing in it. He and Sally Field were a perfect pair. That closing scene chocked me up and was very well acted.
