Review of Lucas

Lucas (1986)
10/10
A very well done 80's movie about life
15 December 2002
I think this is such a good and sad movie that I could never get tired of watching it. Everywhere there is at least one person in each high school who is a nerd trying to fit in with the "in" crowd. Where the "in" crowd torments the living hell out of the nerd trying to fit in. That is what Lucas is about. A 14-year who meets a new girl and befriends her hoping to make her his girlfriend despite that she is 16 years old. When school starts he quits band and decides to try out for football. All the football players except for one,Cappie (Sheen) who is his protector) makes Lucas's life a living hell. Soon the new girl, Maggie (Green) starts to fall in love with Cappie making his girlfriend really jealous. They eventually break up and Cappie and Maggie start going out breaking Lucas's heart. The next day he wants to play football game. He gets hurt and needs to be rushed to the hospital. They try to get a hold of his parents but can't since he is a drunk. When Lucas returns to school he finds a jacket in his locker from the football team. That part really made me cry. I seriously doubt that part would happen in a real school but oh well. 10 stars.
