I ask because I have a crush on Bonnie Hunt right now. Back off - she's mine!
This really doesn't have much to do w/ the Mary Stuart Masterson / Lori Petty / Ally Sheedy tomboy/Peppermint-Patty-as-hetero-love-interest thing, but I just wanted to mention it. Yeah.

Keanu is so good. But nothing will touch his role as a French Canadian goalie in Youngblood. Nothing. What's that line? "He's like fucking an animal" or something?

plus iwas too lazy to google the correct spelling
I'd never seen this until last night, when I specifically rented it because I was so ashamed at this missing link in my knowledge of the world. And it did not disappoint. When I saw John McGinley and James LeGros in the opening credits I knew I was in good hands. Thumbs up to all the aforementioned lines, the smart casting of Lori Petty as Love Interest, hott bromance. And maybe I've just been ruined by today's editing, but I found all the action sequences really coherent and exciting, esp. the foot chase where teh Swayze just runs through peoples' houses all Ferris-style, picking up dogs and throwing them at Keanu, leaping fences, whatever it takes.

for all the exxxtreme-to-the-maxxxx action on display in this trailer i bet there's nothing as exciting as the sequence in the original where keanu chases swayze on foot over fences and thru alleys and houses, which remains fucking amazing
also this luke bracey guy does an amazing job of sucking the life from the screen every time he appears on it
― bizarro gazzara, Wednesday, 27 May 2015 13:23 (nine years ago) link

some of the dialogue is kind of pernicious. it's pretty much an exercise in exuberance and style, and everything else is just wasted motion.

I just caught the second half of this last night. Loling at the part where the Ex-Presidents are so radical that when it comes time to make a bonfire, they don't open the container of lighter fluid, but stick a butterfly knife in it. Seems like a terrible bonfire/great way to set yourself on fire.
