Good movie

I rented this movie from
the local video store the
other night since I hadn't
seen it in years. The first time
I saw it, I was probably only 6 or
7. I think I was about 5 when it came
out. Anyhow, all I remember was that
it focused on a mother, recently
divorced, raising her two sons. The
family seems normal enough until the
arrival of the mom's new boyfriend
who turns out to be everything from
abusive monster to coke fiend. For it's
time, the material seemed very dramatic
and intense. The performances all around
were pretty good. Look for Sarah Jessica
Parker in a co-starring role. The film is
also filtered with some familiar tunes from
the 80's. I recommend you check it out if
you're a fan of these kind of flicks. It's
still pretty cool, though I warn you, it's
somewhat dated.

A little bit of trivia for you: If this
movie didn't get much flack when it was
playing at the theaters, that's because
it opened on the same day as the original
Terminator. Just thought I'd toss that in.
Anyway, check it out if you like this kind
of stuff.

This film is quality. When people talk about their favorite 80's flicks, I never pick the ones everyone else does. I like the overlooked films, like this, Better Off Dead, and Three O'Clock High.
