Leave your thoughts about Vision Quest.
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertA movie with some nice surprises, mostly because it takes the time to create some interesting characters. |
| NewsweekJack KrollA movie with some nice surprises, mostly because it takes the time to create some interesting characters. |
| Chicago TribuneSid SmithIt's the usual dumb stuff -- he strives, he fails, he falls in love, he strives some more, he wins. You need strong hands and a heavy set of nutcrackers to break this tedious shell, but inside there are some surprisingly sharp insights into male teen-age psychology and a marvelous performance by Matthew Modine. |
| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzIts saving grace is the understated and uncanny performance by Modine. |
| Washington PostPaul AttanasioThat's the problem with all of "Vision Quest" -- when the movie ends with Louden narrating off-screen his "live for today" philosophy, it's plausible in his mouth, a joke for adults. |
| Los Angeles TimesKevin ThomasCredibility and even simple logic seem to have gotten short shrift in its transposition to the screen from a highly praised first novel by Terry Davis. The result is a film of some lovely and funny moments, with some appealing people, that finally disappoints. |
| The New York TimesVincent CanbyMovies are not like people who, if they're basically nice and decent, can be liked even if they're not very stimulating company. Movies of that order wear one down. They demand attention without giving much in return - amiability is not enough. This is Vision Quest. |
| Chicago ReaderDave KehrUnfortunately, Harold Becker's direction seems deliberately designed to pull the material toward the bland and conventional—toward easy payoffs and Rocky-style inspirational melodrama. |
| User ReviewEric WIf you were a high school athlete in the 80"s this is your Mona Lisa. |
| User ReviewTimothy HIt had a really good plot I enjoy it alot there where alot of good points to the movie |
