“Ah, the classic 80u0026#39;s film, the big hair, the bad lighting, the lame music, everything that embodies the great American films of 1983. And u0026quot;All the Right Movesu0026quot; is no exception. Iu0026#39;m 24, and just viewed this movie for the first time last week by stumbling upon it at my parentu0026#39;s house while I was visiting for the weekend. Why do you care? I live in Johnstown, where this movie was filmed (as was 1977u0026#39;s Paul Newman classic u0026quot;Slap Shotu0026quot;) and I had never heard of this film! So, I find this dusty VHS copy and take it home with me to view. As i pull it out of its slip sleeve, a yellowed napkin falls out; with Tomu0026#39;s autograph on it! Turns out when I was about 1, my parents brought me down to Johnstown to ride on the Inclined Plane, and I was introduced to Tom Cruise. I never knew?! So knowing that, I had to give the movie a thorough watching, and I must say, I have a little pride that that film was shot here. It was an enjoyable movie, although the ending was a little dry. The sad part of the film is, all the activity and energy that takes place in the movie with the steel mills is no longer here. The mills have been shut down for about 20 years, and the city is pretty much in a depressed state. Itu0026#39;s good to watch the movie just to get a glimpse of what this area use to be. So watch it, enjoy it, heck, you can even rent it from the rental place a block from my house. That place is called u0026quot;All the Right Movies.u0026quot; Enjoy! P.S. For the Kidu0026#39;s sake, It is rated R for strong language and some intense nudity.”
