An unbelievable movie, and deliriously better for it. Keanu Reeves is ahotshot law enforcement dude--Johnny Utah by name--investigating a series ofbank robberies in L.A. Four gunmen, disguised in rubber masks of ex-U.S.presidents, have never come close to being caught, but veteran agent Gary Buseyhas a theory: The bandits are surfers. This prompts the superb line, "The ex-presidents rip off banks to finance the endless summer!" This movie's full ofdialogue like that, but instead of sounding ridiculous it creates its owninfectious comic-book energy--ride the crest of it and you'll find the film'sgiddy zone. Patrick Swayze plays Bodhi, zen-master leader of the surfing clan,humming serenely with the wisdom of the waves. (Alarmingly, Swayze also did hisown skydiving stunts.) Director Kathryn Bigelow (Strange Days) stages theaction sequences with a visceral snap, and clearly has a gift for orchestratingpulp fiction. Though not a huge hit when was first released, Point Breakhas a well-deserved cult reputation thanks to its video afterlife. The film'sexecutive producer is James Cameron, Bigelow's husband at the time. --RobertHorton ... Read more

One Of The Best Action Thrillers Of All Time
Before "Speed", before "The Matrix" or any of a half dozen other memorable films that Keanu Reeves has been in, there was "Point Break". For sheer action, adrenaline, and quick thrills, nothing compares to this cops and robber movie set in the surfer sub culture of southern California. Keanu Reeves plays a young FBI recruit (Johnny Utah) on his first assignment, and lands in the middle of a bank robbery mystery that has been unraveling for several years. A group calling themselves the Ex-Presidents, and wearing outlanding disguises as Ron Reagan, Dick Nixon, Jimmy Carter and Lyndon Johnson, have successfully been looting area banks, so far without shooting or killing anyone. Reeves' older partner, played masterfully here by Gary Busey, confides to Keanu that he believes the bank robbers are surfers, who hit banks to support their wandering lifestyles, following the waves.

Suddenly the stage is set for a masterful cat and mouse game between Busey and Reeves on the one hand, and a group of surfers led by Patrick Swayze, on the other. The movie has everything, from gloriously photographed scenes of surfing to outrageous action sequences which are choreographed so memorably that they become the coda for the movie. There are several exceptional chase scenes, including one that is run by foot through yards, houses, and streets. In the end, it is a powerful allegory regarding the meaning of contemporary life and the rules we all try to live by, but in the meantime it is also a hell of an entertaining ride on the rollercoaster that Reeves and Busey have to ride in pursuit of the Ex-Presidents! "Surfers rule, I swear to God". Hahaha. Inside joke that you'll understand after viewing the film. Enjoy!

Exhilirating, Artistic, Great Entertainment
"Point Break" is Bigelow at her best. It has wonderful artistic moments ,with the waves used by the villainous surfers, as well as a group parachuting scene with the hero and villains all holding hands in a circle in the air. The actors are well paired with both Keanu Reeve as the hero FBI agent who learns how to surf to catch the ex-Presidents bank robbers. Patrick Swayze, in his best role, plays a guru philosopher surfer who heads up the bank robbers, wearing a Ronald Reagan mask during the armed robberies. The bank robberies by the 4 surfers in their ex-presidents' masks verge on the hilarious. The final surfing footage with Swayze and Reeve in Australia is breathtaking. "Point Break" is well worth owning. Writer-director Kathryn Bigelow was a very talented painter before she went to film school to become a movie director. It shows in her work which is very artistic for someone primarily known to the action-adventure genre of filmmaking. She is a breath of fresh air in this genre, investing it with literate scripts and haunting imagery. Her most frequent producer is James Cameron (the action wonder king, "Titanic," "Terminator"), who is also her ex-husband. You can see his influence on her work as well.

Get Me Two!
This awesome action movie is the original 'Fast and the Furious' where surfers with souls are used instead of expensive cars and special effects. Keanu Reeves is perfect for the role as Johnny Utah,the cocky "quarterback punk" fbi agent who has to infiltrate the deep roots of a clan of surfers who rob banks. Garey Busey is a gem as the Utah's crazy partner, Angelo, and Patrick Swayze makes a perfect anti-villain, Bodi.

The action is never-ending, the surfing scenes are amazing (even if Keanu learns how to surf a bit too quickly) and then there's that great chemistry between Swayze and Reeves..two action junkies from completely different backgrounds but that same carnal desire for madness! This film is must for anyone who thinks Vin Diesel is a good anarchist with a spiritual side.. wait 'til you meet Bodi!

if only i could give it zero stars...
This movie is so freakin' lame! Keanu continues his streak of forgettable and unbelievable roles as FBI agent Johnny Utah. Besides the stupidity of that name, his acting is so reminiscient of his role in "Bill and Ted's" that I actually watch it when it's on TV just to laugh at the plot lines and dialogue. Are we really supposed to believe that he ended his career as the Ohio St. QB, went to law school and finished at Quantico within the time frame they purport in the movie? Uh, no. When they're surfing at night after that really great football game on the beach (...yeah, it really looks like he was a college QB in those scenes!) there are at least two sequences where you can see the sun on the horizon, yet this was supposed to be at night? Poor. Oh, and he followed Swayze all over Mexico, Sumatra and Fiji, but still found time to surf "every day?" Come on! "Vaya con Dios," Keanu. Your acting stinks and so does this movie! Good thing the movie also had Anthony Kiedis of Red Hot Chili Pepper fame, too. He did a good job of making faces like he was either constipated or stupid.

One of the most enjoyable movies of the last 15 years
C'mon! Some of you dudes are, like, taking this flick waaaay to seriously, man. This is a great movie to put in if your bored or high and nothing's on tv or if your with some friends and you don't feel like going out. Instead you get a six pack, a pizza, turn the lights off and pop this movie in. The absolute most enjoyable thing about this movie is its complete indefensibility. How can anyone possibly defend a movie in which no five straight minutes are the slightest bit believable. But that's the genius of it. At every even slightly crucial point in the movie, the plot demands that FBI Special Agent Johnny Utah (Reeves) make the stupidest decisions, the most incompetent blunders and display the most irresponsible and morally wrong behavior humanly possible in a member of law enforcement. If he wises up at all, he figures out who the robbers are and sends about two dozen black and whites over to their home and the movie's over in about a half hour. Pretty anticlimatic end, huh? Rather, its about three quarters the way through the movie that the obvious occurs to him. Second in his class at Quantico...riiiight. Instead, we get two hours of surfing, skydiving, bank robbing, stunts, fistfights, gunfights, hot babes, one-liners and chases. Personally, I prefer all the running around to the realistic ending. Don't you? ... Read more

Could be better
Let's see---

Freddy knocks off random people outside of dreams

Homoerotic subplot is subtle but apparent with the teen in this
sequal

Not really scary at all

Probably suspense- not horror--

I dont know- very weak review for a very weak sequal- skip 2
and see Elm Street 3

I never picked up on the gay undercurrent during the flick
but after reading others reviews- I guess its possible

Review of "Nightmare" sequel
Poor sequel to Wes Craven's brilliant original film. In this awful follow-up, they decide that rather than following the format laid down in the original, they want to go and make Freddy into what they believe he should be. Rather than a film about a maniac terrorizing teens in their dreams, this is pretty much a really bad haunted house picture.

This one has a new kid (Mark Patton) moving into the house from the original. For some reason, Freddy is invading his body and subsquentaly driving him into insanity. There are a few cool sequences with a school bus and a pool party but the story really kills this one before it even gets started. A thinly-disguised bisexual subplot is thrown in for reasons unknown and never really fully explained.

Missing Langenkamp, But Still A Good Film!
After the first Nightmare On Elm Street ended, we knew that there was eventually going to be at least 1 or 2 sequels after that, and this was one of them. When I saw the movie, I was surprised to see that Nancy Thompson (Heather Langenkamp) was not in this sequel, but later came in "A Nightmare On Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors" in 1987. ...

Now for a short plot of the story: Jesse Walsh (Mark Patton) has just moved into the home where "Freddy Lives". Jesse is starting to have some really bad dreams lately. Dreams about a burned person with a dirty sweater and knives for fingers who tries to kill people in their sleep. Unlike the first NOES movie where Freddy just taunts and kills people in their sleep, he uses Jesse for his body so he can murder people himself in the real world. Now that Jesse has been possessed and has no control over Freddy's actions, it is up to his girlfriend, Lisa, to stop Freddy and save Jesse.

In conclusion, I felt that this film was a great movie and I feel that for a sequel, it wasn't that bad. I still feel that it would have been great for Heather Langenkamp to star in this film again, but it still is a great film! Recommended, but be sure too see the first Nightmare on ELm Street before seeing this one! 92 minutes.

Freddy's Revenge
Revenge over whom one might ask? The viewers most certainly feel the brunt of his anger in this movie that seem to have been produced only to cash in on the success of the first movie.
The story is about teenager Jesse Walsh (Patton) that move in to Nancy Thompsons (the heroine of the first movie) house.
This time Freddy's aproach to killing off kids is different, as he apparantly uses Jesses body to commit the crimes, and it is up to his girlfriend to put a stop to Krueger(Englund).
The movie seems to lack alot of the charm and the humor that the original had. The only reason to be thankful for this movie, is that we got A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors, which in my opinion is the best of the movies

Freddy has changed? Or is it a new writer?
In this one, Freddy takes over the body of Jesse(a teenage boy) who has moved into Nancy's old house. Freddy then makes him kill people. Freddy's character is different he is weird in so many ways. In the first one, he is a funny, frightening, monster who is ready to kill his victims slowly. But in this one, he is a silent maniac who does strange things. The bad parts of the movie are the times when the pet bird becomes mad and explodes. Another part is where the toaster is set on fire. All these things are acts of Freddy's but is not explained. Not a good sequel. But a collectors item. ... Read more

Winning Sequel!
it doesn't happen often, but occasionally a sequel far excedes the original. this is one of those times. guttenberg, sellick & danson are hilarious as the would-be batchelors turned babysitters, but now they have a much older mary to deal with. during the opening credits, you get to watch mary grow in a sequence of silent out-takes. nancy travis returns as actress/mother who is now successful. all live under one roof, but dealing w/ a 5 year old proves to be much more trying than dealing w/ a baby. this movie takes you thru twists & turns of each character's lives, all very funny. i only give it 4 due to a bit of a "serious" slowdown in the middle. this is a must see for any warm-hearted comedy fan or a fan of any of the fine actors who give excellant preformances. look for fiona shaw, who shows up about half way thru, adding even more humor as a stodgy(maybe not?) private school headmistress. enough laughs & silly humor in this one to keep all viewers amused. it's even tame enough for the kids, with no serious language & very few adult situations. i'll not ruin any of the surprises for you by going into any details, but i'm sure all will enjoy this one!

The continuing story of Three Men and a Baby
In November 1987,Tom Selleck,Steve Guttenberg and Ted Danson began to delight audiences with their #1 blockbuster "Three Men And A Baby". Three years later,the sequel "Three Men And A Little Lady" was released. It didn't score as high as the first film at the box office. Robin Weisman is the 5-year-old little lady Mary in this film. The six-month-old baby in the first film was played by twins Lisa and Michelle Blair. The three men of course,are Peter Mitchell(Selleck),Michael Kellam(Guttenberg) and Jack Holden(Danson). Peter,Michael,Jack,Mary and Mary's mother Sylvia(Nancy Travis) are all living together now. Peter,Michael and Sylvia in one scene are at a meeting with the principal of an elementary school that Mary has been enrolled in. Jack,an actor dressed as Count Dracula,shows up at the meeting late(he was filming a TV commercial). Mary in another scene is taught by Peter the definition of the word "penis". Peter and Sylvia are both shocked. Michael was quite amused. There's also Edward,who's an Englishman like Sylvia. Edward directed Sylvia,who's also an actress,in a broadway play. Edward and Sylvia,romantically involved,plan to marry in their native England,taking Mary with them. Edward deceptively schemes to enroll Mary at the Pileforth Academy,a boarding school there. In another scene,Sylvia is extremely angry at Peter because of some comments he made when Edward visited. She slapped him hard in the face. So Sylvia,Mary and Edward head for England. So Peter,Michael and Jack throw a party just like they did in one scene from the first film. Mary was sad to leave her father Jack and his two roommates. So Peter and Michael surprisingly travel to England to visit Sylvia,Mary and Edward. Jack was filming a movie so he couldn't join his roommates. Jack,dressed as the late Hollywood great Carmen Miranda,phones Michael in England. Jack said he wouldn't be able to attend Edward's and Sylvia's wedding. But,Jack,as himself,later arrives in England in time for the wedding,which never happens. As the bogus wedding begins,Peter,Michael and Elsabeth,Pileforth's principal,crash the ceremony with the enrollment list for the next term on which Mary appears. Sylvia had not known about it until this point and she become furious at Edward. I said "bogus" because the unofficial ceremony was performed by Jack,made up as an elderly priest. Sylvia decided she's going to continue living in New York and tells Peter,"You can see Mary as much as you like." Peter told Sylvia that he loved her. So a real certified priest enters the chapel,marrying Peter and Sylvia. Jack catches the bridal bouquet thrown by Sylvia after the ceremony. WAITING FOR A STAR TO FALL,performed by Boy Meets Girl,on hit parade in the fall of 1988,is played during the end credits. By the way,Sylvia's mother,of course,attended her daughter's wedding. She also visited in New York where Sylvia,Mary,Peter,Michael and Jack live.

It Was Okay but Not Great!
I liked Three Men and a Baby so I watch Three Men and a Little Lady and sorry but I just thought it was a decent sequel but nothing special or amazing and I was disappointed, it just didn't make me laugh and smile as much as Three Men and a Baby did and wasn't as enjoyable and is a 2 1/2 star movie at best!

It just doesn't even compare to the first movie!

Get out your handkerchiefs. Though An Early Frost was made fortelevision in 1985--in the first few years of AIDS awareness and research--it's still as potent and wrenching as more sophisticated efforts that came along a short while later (Philadelphia, And the Band Played On, Longtime Companion). Much of the thanks goes to a stellarcast--Aidan Quinn, Gena Rowlands, and Ben Gazzara--who elevate a familiar, familialtale of conflict that begins when a successful lawyer son (Quinn) comes home tomake peace with his enabling, compassionate mother (Rowlands) and disgusted,confused father (Gazzara) who cannot reconcile himself to his son's gaylifestyle.

Director John Erman crafts a stark, wintry movie, its title ametaphor for a life cut short. An Early Frost was laudedfor its compassion, and though it seems a little patronizing now after themany films with similar themes and variations, this was thefirst to bring gay life as something normal into the average living room, and it holds up pretty well. After all, the humanistic, family element is whatthe film strives to convey, and that theme is always universal. --Paula Nechak ... Read more

Death as the ultimate revelation
This film on AIDS is still very strong today because we still don't have a cure to the disease and the treatments we have developed seem to make the younger generation careless. In this case the main character is gay and the film deals with the revelation of his gay-ness to his family and the subsequent difficulties the members of this family encounter to face this reality. What's more the prejudices against AIDS victims or patients are analyzed in full details and they seem to be tremendously horrible and horrifying, especially within the family, the father or the sister, and even among medical personnel, like ambulance drivers who refuse to take him to the hospital. Death is very well emphasized as the only possible end, but then the film is about rebuilding resistance and the will to survive in the patients who have to know that it is in vain, even if for a couple of years or even more they can go on doing things and bringing themselves up to the world and give the world their last achievements. An extremely emotional film.

I Can't Believe That Only 4 People Have Reviewed This Film!
We now have August of 2001, and I'm already angry at myself that I'm only getting around to seeing this 1985 milestone AIDS film today! I work in the television industry, and I must say that I feel proud that a major network like NBC had the guts to produce a film this sensitive and revolutionary for its time. It truly makes a valiant attempt (and succeeds for the most part) to make AIDS an every-day, living room topic without ever getting too sticky or maudlin about it. Even though this was really in the stone-age of AIDS, it's amazing how right-on it was in so many areas. The only thing that feels dated now, is the lack of therapeutic possibilities, which we have today, but my God, we just all lived through 20 years of Hell, and only now - recently - have a shimmer of light at the end of the tunnel. The writing team had great insight and foresight.

That said, now the silly TV producer side of me needs to have it's say: I wish that the script had gone one round with a good dialog doctor. There are moments, where - despite the AMAZING cast - that I did have to cringe. It was always a matter of sticky dialog, but - believe me - not the heart, soul, or deeper truth of the piece.

This film might be somewhat old, but it is still incredibly valid, and is heads-and-shoulders over most films of its genre. I'm sure that the executives at NBC who gave the green light for this production are long gone, but I raise my glass to you for your courage and for your vision. I hope that some day I feel the same way about the programs that I have worked on. Bravo!

AMAZING TV MOVIE
The first TV movie to deal with AIDS, this outstanding, thoughtful and undeniably powerful drama is about a young, successful gay lawyer who learns he is HIV-positive and decides to confront his family with both his sexuality and illness. Aidan Quinn gives a sensitive, commanding performance in the lead role and Gena Rowlands, Ben Gazzara and especially Sylvia Sydney offer strong support as, respectively, Quinn's mother, father and grandmother; and John Glover is remarkable as Victor, a dying AIDS patient. Get the tissues and get ready to cry! This movie is fantastic! I still can't believe it was made over 15 years ago. Just amazing!

EXCELLENT - WELL AHEAD OF ITS TIME
Considering that this was a television movie, made in the the relatively early stages of the epidemic, "An Early Frost" is especially impressive. Yes the scenes between the Lawyer and his boyfriend are awkward, but the performances are outstanding. Aidan Quinn, as Michael, has never been better and the late Sylvia Sidney is wonderful as his grandmother. Gena Rowlands is excellent as usual, but the most surprising performance comes from Ben Gazarra as Michael's father. As a tough, blue-collar disciplinarian, Gazarra is repulsed by his son's lifestyle but eventually accepts him. The best scene in the film, and the riskiest, is the confrontation between Michael and his father in the garage. Much better than later films such as "Philadelphia."

Important television milestone
An Early Frost was an important television milestone. It was one of the first (if not the first) made-for-TV movies that focused on a character with AIDS. Aidan Quinn gave an excellent performance in this movie. His character was slightly stereotyped, but a type nonetheless, gay man who was diagnosed with AIDS at a time when people were even afraid to discuss the issue.

Yes, his character was in the closet (to his parents). For example, there was one scene in which we learned he and his boyfriend maintained separate bedrooms and telephone lines, all to keep the parents in the dark!

Ben Gazarra and Gena Rowlands were also in the film and gave mildly good performances. ... Read more

Not a great but a still strong Horror Flick to the Original.
Five years later, when a sentitive teenager named Jesse (Mark Patton) is now living in the House-where Nancy Thompson used to live (From the original movie) living with his Parents (Clu Gulager & Hope Lange) and his sister (Christie Clark). When his new friend (Kim Myers) finds a diary of Nancy's hidden in his Room, where Nancy used to be in. Finding out horrible, terrible secrets from her Past and Murderer, who used to kill kids in the neighborhood and thier dreams! Now-Jesse is now dreaming about a man named Freddy Krueger (Robert Englund), who does always tries to contact him and make him things, that he wouldn't do. Since Freddy wants to use his Body to Control him and Being in the outside world, where he could kill again.

Directed by Jack Sholder (Alone in the Dark, The Hidden, Wishmaster 2) made a worthy follow up to the Original. But the film betrays between the World of Reality and Dreams, which doesn't really put it off and almost losing imaginative premise of the first film. Still, it's still scary and Englund as the film's villian is meancing and frightening. This was also a bigger Box Office Hit than the Original. This Sequel is quite Ambitious, since this film has some Gay Overtones in the Plot. DVD's has anamorphic Widescreen (1.85:1) transfer (also in Pan & Scan) and with an strong Digitally Remastered Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround Sound. Some might call this Worst of the Elm Street films but It's not (depending on some, who seen it). Grade:B+.

decent 4 freddy
little bit scary, little bit funny just like a good freddy movie should be but it was good all together. a decent freddy.

Ooh, scary... NOT!!!
After taking a look at the second entry in the 'Nightmare on Elm Street' canon, I can't say I found it all that scary. Sure there were a few moderately gruesome scenes, but overall I wasn't exactly shocked or all that nauseated by what played out on the screen. 'Course, after enduring many a moment of genuinely hideous over-the-top gore from films like 'Predator', 'Total Recall', and 'Starship Troopers', I guess it was a given I'd be somewhat disappointed by the not-as-meaty stuff shown here.

Adding to this flick's hokiness factor was a subpar makeup job on Robert "Freddy" Englund; the guy's "burn" didn't look nearly as realistic here as it did the first go-'round. It looks like they just threw some semi-jelled rubber cement compound on him, then tried to get around how silly it looked by filming him primarily in shadows or from behind. And don't get me started on those brownish-red contact lenses that try to make him look menacing for the close-up shots of his eyes...

Bottom line: unless you're a 'Nightmare' completist, or you like to laugh at the slasher-horror genre's sillier attempts to scare ya-- which is something I like to do-- 'Nightmare 2' is a skipper.

Sweet dreams...

I liked Three Men and a Baby so I watch Three Men and a Little Lady and sorry but I just thought it was a decent sequel but nothing special or amazing and I was disappointed, it just didn't make me laugh and smile as much as Three Men and a Baby did and wasn't as enjoyable and is a 2 1/2 star movie at best!

It just doesn't even compare to the first movie!

Not a great but a still strong Horror Flick to the Original.
Five years later, when a sentitive teenager named Jesse (Mark Patton) is now living in the House-where Nancy Thompson used to live (From the original movie) living with his Parents (Clu Gulager & Hope Lange) and his sister (Christie Clark). When his new friend (Kim Myers) finds a diary of Nancy's hidden in his Room, where Nancy used to be in. Finding out horrible, terrible secrets from her Past and Murderer, who used to kill kids in the neighborhood and thier dreams! Now-Jesse is now dreaming about a man named Freddy Krueger (Robert Englund), who does always tries to contact him and make him things, that he wouldn't do. Since Freddy wants to use his Body to Control him and Being in the outside world, where he could kill again.

Directed by Jack Sholder (Alone in the Dark, The Hidden, Wishmaster 2) made a worthy follow up to the Original. But the film betrays between the World of Reality and Dreams, which doesn't really put it off and almost losing imaginative premise of the first film. Still, it's still scary and Englund as the film's villian is meancing and frightening. This was also a bigger Box Office Hit than the Original. This Sequel is quite Ambitious, since this film has some Gay Overtones in the Plot. DVD's has anamorphic Widescreen (1.85:1) transfer (also in Pan & Scan) and with an strong Digitally Remastered Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround Sound. Some might call this Worst of the Elm Street films but It's not (depending on some, who seen it). Grade:B+.

decent 4 freddy
little bit scary, little bit funny just like a good freddy movie should be but it was good all together. a decent freddy.

Ooh, scary... NOT!!!
After taking a look at the second entry in the 'Nightmare on Elm Street' canon, I can't say I found it all that scary. Sure there were a few moderately gruesome scenes, but overall I wasn't exactly shocked or all that nauseated by what played out on the screen. 'Course, after enduring many a moment of genuinely hideous over-the-top gore from films like 'Predator', 'Total Recall', and 'Starship Troopers', I guess it was a given I'd be somewhat disappointed by the not-as-meaty stuff shown here.

Adding to this flick's hokiness factor was a subpar makeup job on Robert "Freddy" Englund; the guy's "burn" didn't look nearly as realistic here as it did the first go-'round. It looks like they just threw some semi-jelled rubber cement compound on him, then tried to get around how silly it looked by filming him primarily in shadows or from behind. And don't get me started on those brownish-red contact lenses that try to make him look menacing for the close-up shots of his eyes...

Bottom line: unless you're a 'Nightmare' completist, or you like to laugh at the slasher-horror genre's sillier attempts to scare ya-- which is something I like to do-- 'Nightmare 2' is a skipper.

Sweet dreams...

'Late

err...
this really isnt what i expected...its wierd and not really having a lot to do with Freddy...yea hes in it, but not a lot and its mostly the boy who kills...and this is a slow moving, few scares, ugly chicks, bad acting bore fest...kind of a bad sequal...and theres too much male nudity...

this sequal can be skipped and not missed...what a bad way to have done Freddy
