Audience Member una pelicula con buena enseñansa y perpectiva para la vida Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Audience Member Pretty watchable film. It could be sappy sometimes, but still much better than the trashy stuff Nicolas Cage has been doing in recent years. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review camille l Sympathique film de sport sur la modernisation des techniques d'aviron, The Boy in Blue n'est rien de plus qu'un vehicule pour la star naissante Nicolas Cage, encore une fois excellent dans le role d'un chien fou canadien. Dommage que la mise en scene soit aussi impersonnelle et que le score de Roger Webb, le compositeur des Monty Python, soit aussi inaudible pour toute personne allergique aux synthes 80's. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Okay film, but let's get right the facts. The score is childish, almost sounds like the score used on your average episode of He-Man!!! The acting is bad: even Cage and Plummer come off as awful. It looks like it was filmed by a High School film class; very generic looking. While the film is rated R, it really isn't at all violent and no language as far as I can remember, just the two leading ladies Dale and Melody Anderson show some skin, but I think this would easily be PG-13 today, so don't think the movie warrants the rating. I guess it's kind of interesting learning how crazy these sport was back then, not that it's very good, but how much behind the scenes gambling went along with it. It's fun to see Cage in an early role, and the film itself is never boring, it just looks very cheap. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Audience Member This little know Canadian production has plenty of cheese but it also has plenty of enjoyable moments. The plot is predictable but the movie does make you cheer for the main character. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Doubt many people have come across this one- I only found it as I was going through all of Nicolas Cage's movies. I was pleasantly surprised with this one. If this came on my TV, I'd happily watch it. It's a pretty typical biopic here and it certainly has the made-for-TV feel but Cage is good in this and the script is good too- there's some funny moments and your typical sports movie action. This one deserves some more attention I think. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/20/23 Full Review Read all reviews
