Lucas

Corey Haim, Kerri Green, Charlie Sheen, Courtney Thorne-Smith, Winona Ryder

A surprisingly engaging story of puppy love and friendship in a teen setting, this film focuses on the title character (Corey Haim), who is nerdy but winningly outgoing. He falls madly for a new girl ...( read more  read more... )in town (Kerri Green); since school is out for the summer, he becomes her only friend--until she meets his hunky pal (Charlie Sheen). Meanwhile, Lucas ignores the romantic yearnings of another female pal (Winona Ryder, in her screen debut). Written and directed by David Seltzer, this one is a charmer with substance, featuring strong, open performances by its young cast. It's also fascinating to watch today, more than a decade later, and consider what became of these performers: while Ryder grew to be one of Hollywood's brightest lights, Haim descended into substance abuse, as did Sheen, whose predilection for call girls also made him a talk-show punch line. --Marshall Fine

    Sweet coming of age comedy that perfectly captures the awkward high school years. Shatters "teen movie" clichés every step of the way. Corey Haim, who heads a talented cast, is excellent as the bespeckled, picked upon title charcater. Winona Ryder's film debut.

    My aunt made me watch this when I was thirteen, insisting it was the best teen love movie ever made. At that time, I much rathered watching Romeo + Juliet.

    It's all about Corey Haim's performance. The boy had some huge talent and great charm. He deserves a second chance in life.

    The movie? Cheesy but compelling. One of my all time favorites: a total feel-good flick.

    Great 80's flick starring the Haimster. Quite a good cast. Strange why this didn't too well when it was first released.

    It's hard to sympathise with a smart-ass brat.

    Es una película sobre y para adolescentes, pero está lejos de parecerse a American pie, Porkys, y todas las del mismo tipo. Es una película sobre crecer y enamorarse.
