High school athlete Tom Cruise would do anything to escape the dull provincialism of his home town. Cruise's bullying coach Craig T. Nelson cajoles Cruise into seeking an athletic scholarship to a major university. Inevitably, the boy begins to question his goals in life, and soon his soul is the object of a tug of war between Nelson and Cruise's girlfriend Lea Thompson. The first directorial effort for cinematographer Michael Chapman, All the Right Moves was photographed by Jan DeBont, who'd later direct such box-office bonanzas as Speed and Twister. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Tom Cruise stars in All the Right Moves, a movie about teens, football, and Lea Thompson looking cute. Fox has done a passable job on this 1.85:1 widescreen transfer. While the image often looks bright and clear, there are also many moments where dirt, grain, and scratches show up in the transfer. The audio is presented in a newly remixed Dolby Digital 5.1 soundtrack, as well as Dolby 2.0 Mono in English and French. This 5.1 soundtrack sounds good, though the poor source elements make sure that this will be a very limited mix. A few directional effects are utilized, though the bulk of this soundtrack is filtered through the front and center speakers. Also included on this disc are English and Spanish subtitles. Fans looking for in-depth insight into All the Right Moves will be very disappointed; this DVD version only includes an anamorphic theatrical trailer for the film, as well as a few other Fox film trailers. ~ Patrick Naugle, All Movie Guide
