    A lesser-seen Keanu film. While I'm not a big fan, this is probably my favorite thing he's done besides 'Point Break.' That, and it has one of my favorite actors, Fred Ward. I remember there was a summer when I must have watched this every day back in high school.

    I saw some of it and I like what I saw! I really need to see the whole movie as soon as. Keanu Reeves was wicked cute when he was young. Loved his wacky hair-do too. The coffee scene was absolutely hilarious.

    Not bad. I liked this crazy story of a kid, played by Keanu, who is struggling with an older woman that he loves, his crazy father and a mining job that he wants out of. When Keanu gets in trouble with the older woman, played by Amy Madigan, they both think that a simple felony...( read more) might improve things. The story gets funnier once they attempt to kidnap Keanu's dad, played by Fred Ward. Fred has made me laugh ever since I saw him in "Tremors." He is funny in this one as well.
