Let me tell you 80's fans....this is deff. the best 80's feel good movie around. From Matthew Modine's training montages to the soundtrack, everything pumps you up in this movie. I don't like even like wrestling but Matthew Modine makes you wanna try out for a team! Matthew Modine is just a typical 18 year old high school student, young, ambitious, and confused. When he drops to a lower weight class level to beat "shoot" his team disowns him. That doesn't stop him though, he is sexually teased by Linda Fiorentino, disowned by his team and coach, and even challenged by his own health. Watching matthew Modine triumph all these challenges is worth every second in this all time classic movie....buy the movie and soundtrack....
