Movie Reviews of Youngblood
Movie Review: Wanna go, pretty boy?
Summary: 5 Stars
The title of this review should bring a smile to any B fan's face because it means that Sid the Elf is delving into the world of Youngblood. Not only is this flick top-shelf 80's B, but it also marks the first sports B for your pal, Sid the Elf. We picked this one mainly due to its On Demand availability and because it was a weekend afternoon staple on TV throughout Sid's childhood.
Rob Lowe plays the lead as Dean Youngblood, an upstate New York kid who has aspirations to play pro hockey but currently works on his family's farm with his older brother(a former hockey player who was forced to quit due to a creepy and stare-inducing eye injury)and father. Youngblood gets a tryout for the Hamilton Mustangs, a junior hockey team in Canada. During the tryout, Youngblood impresses coach and Death Hunt alum, Murray Chadwick with his finesse game. But, he gets the hair mousse pounded out of him by the film's villian, Karl Racki, played by Dom Cruise. The Mustangs select Youngblood over Racki, so Lowe joins star Center Patrick Swayze and French-Canadian golie Keeanu Reeves. So, Youngblood can score goals and the coach's daughter, but he can't fight(perfect role for Rob Lowe). So, after Racki(now on another team) banks Youngblood a little and Swayze a lot, Youngblood goes back to the farm for the 80's training montage with his dad and brother teaching him how to fight in 2 days. Obviously, Youngblood returns to the team just in time for the championship game and wins it for the injured Swayze. He also fights Racki again, and of course a 150 pound Rob Lowe takes out a 210 pound Dom Cruise.
This movie delivers in a big way. It is pure 80's B(right down to the disturbing gratuitous Lowe butt shot) set against a sports background, so it was right up Sid's alley. The laughs pile up high watching Rob Lowe trying to be athletic and Keeanu attempt a French Canadian accent. This one is a winner, Sid highly recomends.
Summary of Youngblood
A skilled young hockey prospect hoping to attract the attention of professional scouts is pressured to show that he can fight if challenged during his stay in a Canadian minor hockey town. His on-ice activities are complicated by his relationship with the coach's daughter.Handsome young men whack each other in the face with sticks and learn about life in this enjoyably silly hockey movie. Rob Lowe stars as Dean Youngblood, an American rookie who's been given a shot on a Canadian Junior League hockey team. Sure, he can skate, but can he take a punch? This coming-of-age story is about learning the beauty of vicious hockey fights. No, really. Containing both young-bucks-in-the-locker-room shots and plenty of hockey violence, Youngblood is a surprisingly entertaining cupcake of a movie--there's not much nourishment, but it sure tastes good. Watch for Patrick Swayze as the team's leader and Keanu Reeves in his first film role as the French-Canadian goalie. The DVD's most entertaining feature is the option of watching Youngblood dubbed into French--not to be missed. --Ali Davis
