Rating: 3.5/4 --
A movie with some nice surprises, mostly because it takes the time to create some interesting characters.

That's the problem with all of "Vision Quest" -- when the movie ends with Louden narrating off-screen his "live for today" philosophy, it's plausible in his mouth, a joke for adults.

Rating: 3.5/5.0 --
I would hardly be the first critic to suggest that its rote sports-movie structure and the presence of Linda Fiorentino as an implausibly available older woman masks Vision Quest's strange homoerotic subtext.

Description by OLDIES.com:
High school wrestler Louden Swain is a man obsessed, trying to shed 23 pounds in a dangerously short time and take on Shute, the undefeated, tough-as-nails 168-pound champion who's the best wrestler in the state.
Matthew Modine stars as the mop-headed student undeterred in his Vision Quest... until the day a sexy drifter (Linda Fiorentino) threatens to pin Louden and his dreams to the mat of unrequited love. In her first film, Madonna shines while performing "Gambler" and "Crazy for You."
