A stupid movie about an arm wrestling champ and a runaway girl. This movie could have been a lot better.

Super Reviewer

Good acting from Ringwald as usual, but the story could use some work. I mean, arm wrestling competitions? Really? It's kinda silly at times. They had good drama with Ringwald's character running away from her abusive stepfather, but then Le Mat's character's arm wrestling scenes just get in the way! Overall, I am
