    I can personally relate to this movie because I went through the same thing Steve Trevere went through but in a different sport! The Soundtrack has such artists as: John Parr, Stevie Nicks, Andy Taylor, Mr. Mister, Graham Nash and Inxs!

    Wow, what a blast from the past this movie is. I haven't seen it in years but remember loving it back in the 80's...or maybe loving the lead male. It's a toss up. :) I wish this was on dvd.
