Movie Reviews of Semi-Tough
Movie Review: Don't Miss
Summary: 5 Stars
First off, the movie is different from the Dan Jenkins novel. It is far more textured and layered. The send-up of Est training is hilarious. This is not so much a movie about football as it is a love story with a strong subtext satirizing self-help movements (including Pyramid Power). The dialogue is memorable and Preston's performance would have garnered an academy award if the movie had been perceived as serious and weighty. It IS serious and weighty, but it is done with a light, humorous touch. I have watched this movie at least 20 times and never tire of it. The reason: the performances, of course, but the one-liners are priceless. This is the best introduction to the pantheon of Jenkins characters populating his Ft. Worth-centered novels, with a young Brian Dennehy doing a star turn as T. J. Lambert. If you don't know the novels, you've got a great set of treats ahead of you. In this case the movie is better than the book. Baja Oklahoma was also made into a movie--worth seeing, but not quite as good as the book.
