Sadly Over-hyped

Fresh and Exciting

It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

The Most important thing I learnt from the incredible tale of Billie Jean - cool red scooters are very, very, very inspirational! Especially in 1985! Secondly, if your scooter gets trashed by a bunch of unduly ruffians and unwieldy scallywags in the greater Texas expanse in the ripping 80's, and if you just happen to have a sister named Billie Jean, your in luck! Cause 80's producers will make the coolest style over content movie ever! Thirdly, a puerile Christian Slater really really really loves red scooters! and Vermont! Fourthly, in the 80's if you are a very cute blond rebelgirl on the lamb, you can go into underground dank where-houses anywhere in the greater USA expanse and meet up with tons of your fav fans, how VERY! And if you are on the lamb and a member of your seditious gang is Billie Jean, cute lil' bebe gingers can be a great asset! And if you are on the lamb and need help, don't worry if you are like Billie on any street in any state, across the country, there is someone just like you who savors your plight and is always, always ready to save you! God Bless Billie forever!

Helen Slater, Keith Gordon, Christian Slater and Peter Coyote star in this 1985 drama. Slater (Supergirl) plays Texas teen, Billie Jean Davy who tries to help her brother, Binx (C. Slater) get his scooter fixed. She tries to get the money that's owed for the damages, but becomes a fugitive falsely accused of robbery and a media icon. Gordon (Christine) plays Lloyd, a rich boy Billie Jean finds romance with and Coyote (E.T.) plays cop, Ringwald who tries to find and help her. I grew up watching this and always liked it. Helen & the cast are good in it, I like Craig Sefan's score as well as Pat Benatar's theme song, "Invincible." I recommend this good 80's flick.

Keith Gordon, Helen Slater. Christian Slater...young and beautiful.This is a well done film that gives these young actors and actresses a chance to get started.Cult status is assured from the first viewing.Once again, Keith Gordon does a wonderful job.When Helen Slater appears as "Joan of Arc", it's an almost magical moment.Enjoy "The Legend..." on whatever level it works for you.You will also enjoy Keith Gordon in "All That Jazz", "Static", and other unusual films.Here's Harry Dean Stanton again (remember "Christine"?) These folks work well together.

I haven't seen this movie in probably 15 years but the memories are fond and I must say that as a young boy I had a blast with it.This is the typical movie that will make you feel powerful when it comes about friendship, adventures, and most of all, revelry.Billie Jean's gang was likable and that helps a lot because you actually care for the party and feel worried for them. Also, the correct selection of actors was great. Yeardley Smith, Christian Slater and his sister carry the movie completely on their back.The situations are very emotional, fun, entertaining, and most of all, interesting.Keep in mind that the movie is based on a very popular character on American culture.I caught it on HBO and I hope to watch it soon.
