Ziggy 1 Posted April 30, 2015 Rob Lowe, Cynthia Gibb, Patrick Swayze, a little Keanu Reeves. Did you ever want to see Rob Lowe as a Junior Hockey player? Have you ever wondered if Rob Lowe was ever (arguably) statutory raped in a movie? Have you ever wanted to see Rob Lowe partake in a swordfight that takes place on ice, using hockey sticks as weapons? Youngblood. 1 Share this post Link to post
IRONicmerMAN 391 Posted February 12, 2019 Another bumparino for me. I feel like this one should get a little more interest. "Youngblood is what would happen if you threw Dirty Dancing, St. Elmo’s Fire, and a hockey puck into a cauldron. It’s deliciously ’80s, with an absurd amount of slow-motion hockey scenes, a fantastic training montage, an extremely cheesy but fun "hotshot athlete hooks up with the coach’s daughter" plotline, and a murderer’s row of icons from the decade: Rob Lowe, Patrick Swayze, and a brand-new Keanu Reeves. Out of every entry in Swayze’s ’80s oeuvre, Youngblood probably gets the least reverence, but it’s absolutely deserving of a cult movement."

mrrichardson 5 Posted February 12, 2019 I have yet to see this movie, but as a general rule of thumb, I'll watch any film involving sports. I'm definitely checking this out soon. 1 Share this post Link to post
Pistalrose 0 Posted August 10, 2019 Fully agree Youngblood deserves professional critical mockery but we already know why it was made. Rob Lowe’s cheekbones. Share this post Link to post
theworstbuddhist 572 Posted August 10, 2019 Oh man, I don't think I have seen this movie since it came out. It's probably a bigger deal in Canada because we like to act like we own all things hockey. I remember it being a pretty standard sports movie storywise (apart from both Swayze and Lowe being ridiculously good looking for hockey players) but I'll bet it hasn't aged well. Unlike Rob Lowe. That said, I feel like St. Elmo's Fire is so much more mockable. Share this post Link to post
