Featured review
OK. I know that the wanna-be John Hughes movies of the 80s were all unilaterally flat, so the expectations for this film ran pretty low.
Still, after sitting through this crap there's one key thing I can't seem to get out of my head:
I just sat through an 80s Rob Lowe movie that had no nudity and only hints of sex in them.
The acting is awful, the characters boring and flat, the portrayal of Oxford an absolute insult, and the rowing scenes unexciting, uneventful, and inaccurate.
Unless you've got some wierd Ally Sheedy or Amanda Pays (or I guess, Rob Lowe) fetish, there's really no reason to see this one.
