Touch & Go (1986)

one of the best movies

I haven't seen this movie in years, but I remember it was very good when I saw it. I haven't bought the vhs version because I'm waiting for the DVD release. There are still a lot of movies made in the 80s and prior that are excellent but still have not been released on DVD and this is one of them. Great stuff between the two main characters. DVD please!

The kid makes the picture

Good overall movie but its success depends on Ajay Naidu's performance as "the kid". Everyone knows movies with kids and animals risk big time failure. This movie works because of the relationship between Naidu and Keaton. Now only if it could be released on DVD... August 21, 2004

a great feel good movie with excellent acting

This movie really shows how Michael Keaton can really do comedy.
He plays a wealthy hockey player whose life is turned upside
down when he meets a Latino kid who muggs him and his mother.
We see a romance revolve and Michael Keaton's character sees
just what a lonely life he has. His scence with the little boy
are touching and funny. Michael Keaton can do comedy and serious
roles and he was perfect in this movie. Everyone was great. April 19, 2004

I was quite pleased!

I am happy to say that "Touch and Go" was a great movie. My old buddy Michael Keaton finally did it again. He made a film that I enjoyed as much or even more than "The Dream Team". I actually cared about each individual character and their outcome.

It is a story about a self absorbed hockey player who finds out that there is a world outside of himself. After being mugged by a wisecracking 12 year old kid, he ends up taking the brat under his wing unintentionally. He begins a romance with the boys mother (Maria Conchita Alonso-lookin SMOKIN' as ever-of course this was 1986) and ends up putting his hockey career on the backburner.

After renting a slew of BAD movies including "My Own Private Idaho", "A Kiss Before Dying" and "One Good Cop"(it just didn't do it for me) It was a treat to have something with substance finally. I highly recomend this film to anyone looking for a good time on a Saturday night.

5 out of 5 with complete confidence. August 8, 2003
