Brian Orndorf Blu-ray.com Tommy's one-note and completely irrational, but Russell captures the primary colors with ease, fulfilling her obligation as the focal point of the production. Rated: B- Aug 9, 2013 Full Review Oz eFilmCritic.com Rated: 2/5 Sep 23, 2006 Full Review David Nusair Reel Film Reviews There were a lot of silly sex comedies in the '80s, but Tomboy surely marks the nadir of the genre.

Matthew D Attempts to balance a female empowerment message with an abundance of topless scenes. The result is...Okay. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 08/24/21 Full Review Audience Member Another 80's flick that I'd never seen until now. Betsy Russell can't pull off the role of ingenue. The music is weak, as well. At least some of the cast is nice to look at. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Audience Member Simple and fun 80's romcom. It's bad but oh so good. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member Thin plot where a female mechanic falls for a race car driver and, eventually, beats him on the track. Still somewhat enjoyable thanks to star, Betsy Russell, who actually out acts her peers. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Fun cheesy flick and one of my personal favs! <3 Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review Audience Member I liked it. It did show her bare breasts quite a bit. Other than that, I guess it was ok. I mean, I don't think it will ever be considered a classic "Titanic" type movie by any means. That's ok. I've heard the expression that it's a "B grade" movie, which I can agree to that due to the style of acting. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Read all reviews
