Summary: Love this flick!
Comment: This is one of my favorite movies from the '80s. Kristy is great, Michael is great. The soundtrack with ABBA and OXO really liven up the scenes. Why in the world is this not on DVD?? Really doesn't make sense when there is plenty of junk being put on DVD every day instead.

Summary: Could've Been Better
Comment: I like Kristy McNichol's acting, but this movie was boring. There just isn't enough depth to any given character or scene for the viewer to connect with the movie in any way.

The dance scene where Kristy and Patrick Cassidy dance is suppose to "symbolize" the main character loosening up. Instead, it's just goofy dancing to bad music, even for 1984 standards.

I think the actors did their best with the material they were given. Sorry Kristy, it just wasn't enough.

Summary: A Frank Look At Differently Abled Discrimination
Comment: I found this movie to be very sweet, tender and thought provoking. Kristy goes from being frumpy and introverted to bubbly and outgoing and all with the aid of a cast. She uses this cast to make the world forget she has a leg brace due to a childhood illness. The movie does a great job at showing how the world treats her differently once they don't realize she is differently abled. Very 80's and no wonder, that's when it was filmed. The soundtrack is one of the lesser dated ones, due to all the Abba music. The ending is a little short, but promising none the less. On a personal observation: Why do people who hate movies so much they'd rather throw them off a cliff than watch bother to reveiw them? I mean they obviously have less boring lives than I do since I liked it and they didn't. Hmmmm. Like the look of their own words in print maybe?

Summary: Inspiring Comedy/Drama
Comment: An excellent movie for any person who wishes he/she could hide or disguise a physical disability or abnormality. The storyline never seems to drag in this film, and the content as well as the concept of the plot keeps you interested from the beginning. Although this movie was not a blockbuster, it still has what it takes to leave you feeling good at the end. This movie will make you think about how differntly some people can be treated when in fact they are really no different than anyone else. I have a lower left leg deformity, and as a result a lot of people have treated me differently. I followed the same method that Kristy's character Susan did in the movie. I went to a ski lodge with a cast on my lower leg to hide my condition, and it was like being in a whole new world. What an inspiration this movie was!
