DVD Talk review of 'Over the Top'

I read Francis Rizzo III's DVD review of Over the Top at http://www.dvdtalk.com/reviews/read.php?ID=16002 and...

loved the review! This movie is the very defintion of the phrase, "guilty pleasure." I would even put it up there with Predator.

"Second sucks!"

Meet me halfway
Across the sky
Out where the world belongs
To only you and I

I'm shocked and dismayed that the film that inspired a generation to turn their hats around indicating that they've become like a truck would only rate a "Rent It".

Life never meets you halfway, Francis.

I went Over the Top, what can I say?
I have a hard time suggesting people own a barebones DVD of a movie that would cause them severe social anxiety if it sat on their shelf during a dinner party or Sunday tea.

Not a bad film, but the kid in the movie was pretty gay

I can just about guarantee you that no one who has ever participated in "Sunday tea" would be reading your review of Over the Top.

You've got to be kidding??? The Academy even considered putting a backwards hat on the Oscar statue after this movie came out.
