 |  | A Night In The Life of Jimmy Reardon |  |
I am a River Phoenix fan,and I personally think he made a good portrayal of what a teenager with family, group pressure, sexuality, friendship, and personal issues deals with, and how good and bad decisions turn out to have a diffrent outcome than the ones one might expect.
September 21, 2008There is no "capioned for the hearing-impaired" as it written on the package
For a German guy this would have helped

The best actor of his generation.He was too young when he died.He was a great actor.He was also great in Running on Empty,Stand By Me,Dog Fight,Sneakers,The Mosquito Coast,Little Nikkita,Explores,Silent Tongue.
March 24, 2007This film is one of the best coming of age films ever made. It's defintely one of the best teen films of the 80's. We lost a great actor in the making when we lost River Pheonix. Check it out you won't be disappointed.
September 11, 2004| | | Excellent coming of age film / River's talent | |
I remeber this movie in 1988 quite well because I was transfixed by River Phoenix's character. Based on the novel by Bill Richert "Aren't you even going to kiss me goodbye" Phoenix plays Jimmy a smooth talking charming kid from a working class family who lives in the richer side of town. Hangs with these rich kids who are the type to die if they ever lost their money. While trying to impress and win the heart of the one girl who ever really got to him his girlfriend Lisa ( Meredith Salenger) before she moves to Hawaii. He gets himself into hard situations and troubles just about every relationship he has by sleeping with his best friends ( Mathew Perry) girlfriend, has sex with his mothers best friend. Then smashes his fathers car up in the course of one night. River's character in this film is the type that has a charisma that makes it hard for people to say no to or stay mad at. A funny teen angst movie excellent performance by River Phoenix they couldn't of casted anyone else for this role. One of my favorite 80's coming of age films worth viewing.
