Tom Cruise certainly has been in the acting game for a long time. He's currently setting the box office ablaze again with "Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One," but when his career was just getting going, he made his presence known by appearing in young-adult tales … one of which, "All the Right Moves," is marking its 40th anni- versary this year. Now streaming on Hulu, it reaffirms how long Cruise has been a star, and he has Lucille Ball to thank in part since her com- pany made the movie. He plays Stef, a high-school foot- ball star in a Pennsylvania steel town that cherishes its athletes. Stef and his family hope his prowess on the field will earn him a college schol- arship, and with schools seeking his services, he seems to be on the right path until he locks horns with his coach (an effectively stern Craig T. Nelson) over a championship game that goes the wrong way. The coach kicks Stef off the team, and the young man's future suddenly is thrust into severe doubt. Though his girlfriend Lisa (Lea Thompson) tries to encourage him to find a new path to his goals, Stef continues to reel, putting their relationship in jeopardy as well. Friends played by Chris Penn and Paul Carafotes also have dilemmas to deal with, some self-created, and the result is a compelling portrait of young people struggling to overcome their challenging circum- stances. While "All the Right Moves" principally is a showcase for Cruise, it also serves Thompson quite well. She was on the verge of her own career breakout then, with "Red Dawn" and "Back to the Future: soon to follow, and she makes Lisa an engaging combination of com- passion and strength. Her scene with the coach's wife (Sandy Faison), from whom she seeks advice on how to deal with Stef, is especially affecting. moviereview By Jay Bobbin Tom Cruise and Craig T.
