It's hard to think of another movie where so many young performers have so forcefully announced themselves to the world.

It's a poignant and effective character study that manages not only to explore important teenage issues without condescending to the audience, but to offer an upbeat ending without descending into mawkishness.

Having carefully and sensitively drawn an interesting character and put him in an interesting place, the filmmakers start painting with their fingers and ultimately provide a very familiar picture.

Highly entertaining. A movie for the underdog in all of us.

It would be tragic if this film would get lost in the shuffle of "teenage movies." This is a movie that is as pure and true to the adolescent experience as Truffaut's The 400 Blows.

Lucas is as irresistible as its slight, brilliant, bespectacled 14-year-old hero (Corey Haim).

A realistic look at a teen's coming-of-age.
