Brad S. R A generally competent drama and something of a vacation piece for director Richard Donner, but, despite some really great moments, the film never really amounts to more than the sum of its parts. Those parts alone, however, are still worth the viewing. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/14/25 Full Review Eye C Now this is a depressing movie, it’s a surprise that this was the follow up film from Superman, kind of a downfall.

Watching it confirmed my decision. I found no character likable. Neither of the two main protagonists were ever clear about what their disabilities were. The female leads were as unattractive as any in a studio film. Didn't realize the Golden State Warriors and the Arena were part of the film, that I enjoyed. John Savage has always been annoying as an actor, responding with a screwed-up face instead of words. Only pleased when it ended. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 07/26/23 Full Review jon c Who's got the inside moves? Based on the novel by Todd Walton and directed by Richard Donner. John Savage plays Rory feeling depressed tries to kill himself but is unsuccessful. Instead he's crippled walking with a limp. David Morse plays a man Jerry who meets him at a bar specializing in the handicapped. He use to play basketball and is saving up for corrective surgery. They become friends and Rory even befriends an attractive woman named Louise who aids him in physical and mental rehabilitation. Rory has $11,000 saved up to keep the bar open but Jerry sees it as a bad investment. To Rory though he sees it as family, the only thing that matters. I found this movie to be a disappointment. It should've focused on Rory more than Jerry. A happier vibe would've been nice instead of Jerry's problems with his girlfriend and owing money to shady people. I found this to be dragging in several spots and couldn't relate to anyone's dilemmas. Not one of Donner's best. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review steve d Donner did his best but I didn't think it was effecting enough.
