It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.
Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
I watched this movie not long ago on TCM. I was surprised by how sexual the film really was. But also delighted that they didn't make it into some lovey dovey, puppy love nonsense. Trying to smother the sexual obsession that 99.9% of teens harbour. Of course the pairing of Darryl Hannah and Aiden Quinn couldn't flop. I mean they're perfect together. The contrast between their looks and acting styles. She's a blonde, blue eyed cheerleader, he the dark haired and light eyed Italian with a leather jacket and enough troubles to fill a circus tent. Yes, I know it's been done a billion times before and in exactly the same setting, mood and dialogue. But hey? Who says that real life characters such as these are ever going to get original themselves? It's one of my favourite raunch-o-rama teen flicks and even though its not in the league of "The Breakfast Club" or "Dirty Dancing", its soundtrack still kicks ass and plus it has a happy ending! Who can beat that?
Reckless is one of my all-time favorite movies, Aidan Quinn is an awesome talent and should be more well known by now. This is 'Rebel without a Cause' for the 80's generation. Great music, excellent script, terrific acting and beautifully filmed.
Just another typical 80's youth film with two actors in their late twenties playing teenagers. Besides all that, you got yourself a sexy poolside scene where you have to wait through half the film to see it. You fot Aidan Quinn and Daryl Hannah doing a dare strip tease at their high school pool in the middle of the night. It's great. You got to admit it's one of the only reasons why people rent this movie in the first place. A decent story, decent acting, an overall worth see movie. Check it out!
This was a great movie! Aidan Quinn and Darryl Hannah were still innocent. I loved the soundtrack and the ease of viewing the picture. There's no violence or unpredictable nonsense. This is so rare with the new movies. This one's a classic.
