Movie Reviews of Lucas
Movie Review: Not the Typical Teen Flick
Summary: 4 Stars
I never saw "Lucas" in the theaters, but it was rerun frequently in the late 80s and 90s on Fox on Saturday afternoons. I don't know that a more serious story has ever been offered to the teen audience--I can think of "What's Eating Gilbert Grape", but it doesn't have as wide a reality appeal for most."Lucas" is the story of a boy--promoted early to high school--who has an adult intellect with a child's understandings. His academic confidence has been his best friend, but he is willing to abandon it for the girl he has fallen in love with. It is the kind of film that should be taken more to heart; an exhibition in how the "other half" lives--both Lucas and the other suitors find they have allowed myths (of the high school kind) to keep them from understanding each other.
The music in this film is a treasure. Like "E. T.", the music conveys the emotions of the person--making a dramatic scene all that more tender (as in a fresh wound).
I don't approve of the language, and until it was relased on VHS/DVD I didn't realize it does have "that word", but it is a good conversation piece for adults (read: parents/caregivers/teachers) and children (13+).
Movie Review: a must own dvd
Summary: 4 Stars
what a good movie, really sad that he had all these problems during his youth and then the 80's were gone and he tried a come back but everything went right to dvd. Now he is longer with us, I just wonder what they will say about this movie and some of the other movies he made
Good movies never die, so i say get this movie it rocks
Movie Review: Very good
Summary: 3 Stars
This was a great movie. Kids and adults can both enjoy it. I am from Australia and It was hard to buy this movie in Australian shops so I bought it on Amazon. It was a Christmas present for my Nephew who is 13. He loved it. Its a good wholesome movie that many people may never of heard of because its old but its a great film for kids.Movie Review: 80's baby
Summary: 3 Stars
I really like this movie because i felt for the Lucus character. It's very 80's which i love because i was born in the late 80's and it's cool to see how they were back then.Movie Review: Not family friendly!
Summary: 1 Stars
This is one of the worst films I have ever seen. Anyone with half a brain knows what's coming next. It is not family friendly as there is male nudity, swearing and the "f" bomb. I can't wait to trade it in on something worth my time.
