DVD Reviews of Vision Quest

DVD Review: Bad Quality
Summary: 1 Stars

I ordered this for my husband and recieved a DVD that is far to scratched to even play in a player. Unfortunatly my husband never told me how bad it was so I didn't think I could returned it after so long. Basically he never even had a chance to watch it. comes in cheap cardboard box case, no wonder its in bad shape.

DVD Review: Just re-watched this movie...Fantastic!
Summary: 4 Stars

It is definitely an 80's movie, so the quality is what it is, but it has a fantastic plot. As a former wrestler, this was always one of our favorites to watch during the season. If you like sports movies, this is one you have to watch at least once.

Enjoy!

DVD Review: Vision Quest
Summary: 4 Stars

This is a feel good movie, good story line of a wrestler trying to "cut" weight for the the State championships a must for any wrestling fan

DVD Review: You must work out after watching this.
Summary: 5 Stars

After watch this I just need to run up and down stairs, do some spontaneous push ups or go for a late night run -fast. I love to watch it the night before a race.
Forget you expensive workout video sets or inspirational teaching series -get this for [...] or so and change your life.

DVD Review: Great Service
Summary: 5 Stars

I received this right on time! I paid for expedited service and it worked! That has not always been my experience with others.

Description of Vision Quest

Vision Quest is a coming of age movie in which high school wrestler Louden Swain (Matthew Modine) decides he wants to be something more than an average high school athlete and sets his sights on a prize that many don't think he can win -- he then sets out to reach his goal alone, without much support from his father or coach. His father rents a room to a young drifter, Carla (Linda Fiorentino). Swain falls in love with her and she helps him stay focused and prevents him from losing sight of his goals. Although a lower-budget film than Flashdance or Top Gun, this movie is similar in theme and style. Madonna makes her first appearance in a major motion picture as a lead singer in a local band performing her hit songs "Crazy For You" and "Gambler".

This film wraps up the big wrestling match that Terry Davis's novel left unresolved. It also makes Carla (Linda Fiorentino, in her screen debut) less of a bad girl. What it does capture is the book's flowing feeling of power and the possibility of youth. Probably best known for presenting a just-emerging Madonna singing "Crazy for You," Vision Quest also uses Matthew Modine nicely. He doesn't typify the usual coming-of-age youth, but his character, Louden Swain, isn't the typical youth, period. Swain needs to win the Washington State wrestling championship, and he's up against a guy who carries logs up stadium steps. He's also involved with an older woman, Carla, and learning that love and all that stuff is much harder than pinning an opponent. Ah, youth. --Keith Simanton
