  • The American Dream

    Rated - 3.0 stars

    [Highly rated reviewer]

    I haven't enjoyed a film so much for years.

    Forget your recent American Pie(s), Road Trip etc, etc. This is the original adolescent movie. Quite similar to Ferris Buellers day off only the humour is a lot more subtle. It also has Rebecca DeMornay in it, and obviously Tom Cruise in one of his first roles.

    If you have seen the recent "Girl Next Door" film, you will realise how much influence this film has had especially in recent years.

    Definitely worth renting!

    Comedy .Very early Tom Cruise Rom Com. Funny in parts. Student left home alone with daddy’s Porsche. Supposedly an 80s classic but it is a watchable fair film but that is all.

    I had heard about this film for years before finally watching it,

    and was pleasantly surprised by the first quarter of the film.

    I thought it would have dated badly but thought initially it held its own and there was some nice touches by the director.

    Half way through though the film started to lose its momentum, and was quite pleased when it ended. It isn't very long at 1hr 35 but felt it struggled to keep itself going.

    A previous review commented negatively about Tom Cruise's acting. Considering it was at the very start of his career I thought he handled himself well. I get tired of people who say he can't act for the sake of it.

    this films storyline was good, but a bit pervy for my liking, if you like sexy stuff and naked women then go for it.

    otherwise music was canny

    An 80s nostalgia film that makes you wonder how he came to be a leading Hollywood actor, but bearable for a Friday night in with a takeaway.
