This charming, Academy Award winner (1979, Screenplay) cycles high on comedy as four friends come to terms with life after high school. When top-notch cyclist Dave (Dennis Christopher) learns that the world's bicycling champions are always Italian, he attempts to turn himself into an Italian, driving his parents (Barbara Barrie, Paul Dooley) crazy. But everything changes after he meets the Italian racing team-an encounter that ultimately leads him and his friends (Dennis Quaid, Daniel Stern, Jackie Earle Haley) to challenge the local college boys in the town's annual bike race.

Summary: Breaking Away video
Comment: Received the video quickly. Although it was shrink-wrapped and listed as new, it has major tracking problems from the beginning of the tape into the first minute or two of the movie. BUT . . . the rest of it is great and I am so glad to be able to find a copy of it! I wish I could get it on DVD! Thanks much.

Summary: Great movie for everyone
Comment: This movie is known as a bike movie, but it's really a movie about growing up and leaving home. It has funny dialogue, good acting and a good plot.

Summary: THE ITALIANS ARE COMING!
Comment: Two words: Dennis Quaid. He's so hot right now! This movie is a classic and anyone who hasn't seen it is a cinematic idiot.

Summary: Back home in Indiana
Comment: Having attended IU my Freshman year ('69/'70), I can attest that Breaking Away was certaingly not filmed on a Hollywood sound stage, but entirely in Bloomington, Indiana as the film's end credits proclaim. It is a delightful movie the whole family can enjoy. It is a relatively short movie with many funny moments (Paul Dooley is fantastic) and for me, reminiscent of my days at IU (the warm waters of the abandoned stone quarries, the beautiful IU library and the Little 500 race to name a few).
Wonderful characters make the story extremely enjoyable. It's one of my favorite movies. ...LAP
