Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe director wanted Lea Thompson and Tom Cruise to go undercover to remember what high school was like. They went to separate schools, and while Cruise was spotted after just one day because someone recognized him from Taps (1981), Thompson went four days, was asked out by many guys and got caught smoking.
- GoofsPennsylvania high schools are grouped according to size of a school's student body. This is to avoid small schools having to play much larger one. Clearly, Ampipe is a much smaller school than Walnut Heights so they would not have ever played each other in football.

Featured review
Watchable, But Nothing More
Continuing my plan to watch every Tom Cruise movie in order, I come to to his third and final movie of 1983, All The Right Moves.
Plot In A Paragraph: A high school football player (Cruise) desperate for a scholarship and his headstrong coach clash in a dying Pennsylvania steel town.
Like with Risky Business, this is another movie that I don't get people's love for. I find it watchable, and nothing more. Cruise is OK, everyone's favourite TV coach, Craig T Nelson is his usual reliable self, and Leah Thompson (who shares the most unsexy and uncomfortable life scene I have ever witnessed) looks cute, but doesn't really bring much.
One plus is, it has a decent rock soundtrack, which is usually listed first in the end credits with each song stating what scene it was played it.
This was the first movie Tom Cruise's name appeared above the movie title on a poster.
All The Right Moves grossed $17 million at the domestic box office, to end the year the 42nd highest grossing movie of 1983.
