Member Movie Reviews K. K. (GAMER) Reviewed on 5/25/2022... A fun quirky comedy drama with Robin Williams and Kurt Russell in their younger days and a small role by Kirk Cameron when he was just a kid. Elizabeth B. from TYLER, TX Reviewed on 2/8/2008... This movie is hilarious! I am not even into sports and I laughed so hard it hurt. The peripheral characters along with Robin Williams and Kurt Russell are what make this movie so humurous. Robin Williams is perfect! If you like sports and have any nostalgic feelings about high school football, you need to see this. 2 of 2 member(s) found this review helpful.
Movie ReviewsEvery Fall, this is a must see for me since 1987 gymkata | Austin, TX | 07/28/2001 (5 out of 5 stars) "I guess I first caught this movie on Cinemax or some other cable channel back in '87 or '88(?) while still in High School. I've watched it at least once a year (around September usually) ever since. A "Sleeper" I suppose, but a sleeper at it's finest. In my opinion one of Williams' best, up there with "World according to Garp" and "Moscow on the Hudson". Kurt is perfectly cast as a former high school GOD turned beerbellied, blown out kneed "Van Specialist" desperately trying not to bathe in past glory. It has that "quirky and delightful" feel, not unlike Bill Forsyth's films like "Local Hero" and "Gregory's Girl". Now that I think of it, "Mystery Alaska" wouldn't be a bad comparison either. It goes way beyond simply a football/sports movie (my Wife likes it too but probably just because of Kurt Russell) but hey, I love football anyway so it it works for me on multiple levels. Of course, the idea of going back and correcting one's biggest screw up/regret would appeal to anyone. I always feel good after I watch this one, it hasn't let me down yet." Cute Ju-Ju Bee | 01/27/2003 (4 out of 5 stars) "Nice mild but funny film, with Robin Williams not acting in his usual annoying hyperactive manner, but giving a rare subdued performance. Kurt Russel is great as always, as are the rest of the cast. The Script is well written, and the direction good. Kind of like an old Disney film, in the best sense of that term." Best of times is good times! Thin Timmy | New Orleans, La. | 06/25/2007 (5 out of 5 stars) "Best of Times is a overlooked classic from the 80"s!
Kurt Russell is great as the old hero football star who winds up in a car repair shop and Robin Williams in his best role ever as the pathetic bank manager who's life is out of control and both team up to relive their youth by starting up a football game with the stronger rival team that whipped them years ago. Of course they win the game and all ends well but it's worth watching this classic comedy." |
