Square Dance

a couple of years ago bought square dance at a video store on VHS and watched the movie from start to finish and i have to say this movie is very good but very underrated. let's start with the film debut of wynonna rider. i thought her film debut was very astonishing and to be considered a promising actress in that decade which she continued to promise more great performances up until her arrest for shoplifting years ago.

Jane Alexander and Jason robards were very affective in this film. last but not least rob Lowe's performance.

let's start by saying that his performance was very underrated however was nominated for a golden globe, i thought he should of got an Oscar nomination for his role as mentally in-pair gema now that's the hardest role Lowe has ever taken on. if you can find this movie on VHS or DVD go buy it!!!1

Square Dance, a near unknown film (probably because it is violentless) is actually a nice feel-good movie. The best thing about this movie is the acting, Lowe especially... in a enduring performance. Noted mainly because of Ryder's first film, whom is also great (as usual). The only bad thing about this film is what can be expected... it is rather slow at times, and yet still seems to leave loose ends. But it is very much rewarding with a nice ending and notable symbolism of the actual square dances, which leads Ryder back home.

Square Dance had a great cast and great acting, which helped make it's story more alive.Some parts were slow but over all it was a good movie.Throughout the movie I was impressed to see that Lowe could be a good actor.All those true Romance fans will love this one.Square Dance was also Ryder's first staring role.

I like the movie but without saying too much to spoil it the scene with winona, rob and debi richter (if you watched the movie you know what scene) that one scene is a bit disturbing but other then that the movie is one of my faves. but to this day i can't watch debi richter in anything. I think winona portrayed a powerful performance with a character that is confused and lost on life, jason robards as the grandfather is very well portrayed, the setting i couldn't see it in any other setting besides Texas where it is set it seems to fit the movie and the atmosphere tremendously. rob lowe as a mentally retarted young man rounds the movie out very well as good as his portrayal in the outsiders 4 years earlier.

Loved this movie as a teen! My cousin and I still quote it often. It's not out of the ordinary at all for us to yell across the room "first you take the shicken and you wash em" or "I think you do! I think you do in a shicken casherole" Rob Lowe and Winona Ryder are phenomenal!
