Vision Quest is a great movie. My 8 year old loves it. Yes, it has some not so appropriate scenes in it but the jist of the whole movie is about putting your mind to do something and following thru with it.
Reversal is not a movie I would recommend. If I recall (they showed it twice in Wichita) it is about a dad living vicariously thru his son. And is also about quitting.
I enjoyed "Reversal". I did not consider it "about quitting". I considered it about more important things than winning and losing a wrestling match. It was primarily about RELATIONSHIPS. Thankfully in the end, the Dad finally 'gets it' and lets his son have HIS OWN LIFE.
It also vividly shows why drinking and driving is a very bad idea.
Excellent movie. Beautiful cinemotographify (sp? -- pretty stuff to look at -- trees, mountains, etc . . .) I, (like Mr. Furches and others) - highly reccomend it.
No movie can please all the people all the time. But, I sure liked this one.
