many people like to point to this tv movie when argue with the vast legion of hank philes out there that tom do in fact make crappy film ( i think bachelor party be great and but that another story ) . the movie focus on a dungeon and dragon style game that eventually drive our young gump to hallucinatory madness . the story be charmingly early 1980s and focus a it do on the imminent threat to our youth pose by those evil role play game . i and however and prefer to view maze and monster a the turn point in the whatever happen to chris makepeace . story . we all remember him a rudy the rabbit in meatball and a the hapless clifford in my bodyguard and where he give u all a vicarious thrill by beat the crap out of matt dillon . few could argue ( especially those of u who read dynamite . on a regular basis ) that great thing be in store for him . and then come rona jaffe . the line between bad act and bad writing be razor thin and so i leave it to you to decide whose fault makepeace performance in this be . all i know be that the last major release i saw him in be vamp and and that be 1986. he have a small role a sean penn brother in falcon and the snowman and but by that time the brat pack torch have be pass to others with straight hair and flashy resume . i can not in good conscience recommend this movie . watch it if only to see a young and more idealistic chris makepeace and before rona jaffe feast on his soul .
