Canada Movie Reviews of Tuff TurfMovie Review: High school on steroids
This is an okay film and very much of its time. Mayhem and craziness abound. But it's entertaining and the climactic duel to the death is scary enough. It owes a lot to the "Rebel Without A Cause" themes of lonely boy trying to carve his niche in yet another new school, with well meaning but feckless parents. In this his dad is a decent guy and his mother is a troll. An almost grown up Kim Richards will surprise you. A far cry from her "Nanny & the Professor" days. What really makes the movie is the whacky side-kick played by a young Robert Downey Jr. With his customary twitchy insouciance, he pals along on this bumpy adolescent ride and is funny and sweet. Overall the film isn't satisfying, but seeing these two guys working together before "Less Than Zero" is a rare chance to watch the rise of two stars. |
