consider the risk of show same sex relationship before the late 1980 and personal best could have do good to play the same sex relationship between hemingway ( chris cahill ) and donnelly ( tory skinner ) a a more than experimental phase of cahill life . it seem to me that the creator of this movie threw in the same sex relationship between two fairly attractive woman in order to attract viewer . also consider the 90 second of expose the crotch of several woman jump backwards over a high jump pole . this random scene have very little relevance to the movie and it appear a though this be do merely to keep the audience interested in this bland movie . i suppose the producer be try to counteract the boring plot and the even more boring setting of the movie ( the 1980 oregon track and field competition ) . this review may seem harsh and but it be the truth . the exploitation of young muriel hemingway body and the same sex relationship ruin any credit that i would have give to this film . pepper thompson .
