Great coming of age movie. A young Judd Nelson and Kevin Costner captivate the viewer in a Vietnam War era coming of age film. The movie dips it's toes into a lot of different genres in this single feature. Going from comedy, to drama, and then full on nails in the armrest climax, followed by a lighthearted feel good ending that is scored by the legendary Pat Metheny. If you enjoyed Stand by me, this is along the same vein as that.
