    Cheese! But The Good Kind Of Cheese

    This is basically a poor mans 'Karate Kid.' But none the less this is still a very enjoyable film, with some cool montages. One of them being a montage in the most unusual of places. I recommend this film as just an afternoon movie where you kick back not expecting a serious movie but a no brainer! Just enjoy it for what it is classic high school cheese
