Wow, where has this been all my life? Helen Slater is a legit badass as Texas teenager Billie Jean, whose attempts to get her kid brother Christian Slater’s scooter fixed by the bully who trashed it go wildly out of control. A killer soundtrack including a great Pat Benetar theme song and a ton of style make this a forgotten cult classic. If I’d seen this in 1985 I’d have joined the Billie Jean fan club.
Não sabia direito do que o filme se tratava, mas me surpreendi demais. Filme muito bom, estilo e charme dos anos 80. Além da juventude oitentista, o filme fala da juventude, as mentiras e fake news como são aumentadas. Filme válido também pela ótima trilha sonora!!
It gets pretty heavy-handed at times and mostly feels like a corny after-school special, but there's something very satisfying about Billie Jean and her resolve. The transformation and the music is the crowd-cheering, fist-pumping kind of stuff you expect from an 80s cult movie.

This movie is one of those that doesn't take itself seriously and it works to this movie's benefit here. Helen Slater does a great job as the title character and seems to be having the time of her life and it is a crying shame she didn't become a leading lady. Peter Coyote looks to be having fun as well. I also enjoy Yeardley Smith's character for her flippant use of profanity.
