Movie Info
Johnny Walker (Anthony Michael Hall) is a hot-shot high-school quarterback who receives intoxicating offers from spirited college recruiters in this adolescent teen comedy. Bathroom humor and sight gags are strung together in a story involving booze, broads, and other benefits for the coveted quarterback. Robert Downey Jr., Uma Thurman, and Paul Gleason co-star. Even cameos from Jim McMahon and Howard Cosell can't save this feature from itself, though it isn't the fault of the cast. Originally

Two of the screenwriters, Steve Zacharias and Jeff Buhai, also wrote Revenge of the Nerds, so it's not surprising that they're more interested in tame teen-age fantasies than in social satire.
Top CriticThe people who made this movie should be ashamed of themselves.
If Chuck Berry were dead, he'd be spinning in his grave.
Johnny be worthless.
Reflects the mentality of great swaths of artless, ignorant slobs.
I doubt Johnny Be Good is going to be a hot seller as a DVD.
It's not funny, it tells a surface story and nothing more, and there's no sense of effort to correct any of these deficiencies.
It's bad, even by 80's standards.
