Ratings and reviews

For the most part this movie still holds up. I absolutely adored this movie when I was a teen. Keanu Reeves performance still holds up . There really isn't any filler in this movie since it's so short. And because of this movie and Metallica I got interested in playing guitar. now if only I had stuck with guitar maybe actually be good lol . If you're a teenager today, check it out. Sent from Nexus 4 pardon the spelling and grammar

Keanu Reeves at his best. Although the movie is technically centered around his friend David, this movie showcases Keanu's early acting talent. This movie is also timeless, being made in the 80s but still relevant and relatable to the youth of today. A very underrated movie. I give it 6 stars. And if you like this one, check out River's Edge, another great Keanu movie from this time period.

For any Keanu fan, this one is a classic, don't miss the beautiful vocals of Jennifer Rubin either!
