Best two reviews:
1) Chicago Sun-Times - Two people finally tell each other the truth. This is, of course, an astonishing breakthrough in movies about teenagers, and All the Right Moves deserves it. (Rating: 75) Read Full Review >
2) Boston Globe - Cruise is believable as an athlete; and the cocky bravado he emits to impress his girlfriend (played with matching complexity and maturity by Lea Thompson) has a fetching sense of lift, too. But his vulnerability is what's most refreshing and ingratiating about Cruise's Stef. [05 Nov 1983] (Rating: 75) Read Full Review >

6) TV Guide - This cliche-riddled picture was the directorial debut of veteran cinematographer Michael Chapman, who took no risks in his first time out. (Rating: 38) Read Full Review >
