A brilliant movie set in the 1980s USA. Alex and Bradley are best friends, both on the football team. Alex is found out to be gay (a mishap, really), and Bradley has to come to terms with it as a straight friend. The movie shows his struggle between standing up for his own principles (great principles, really), and the reactions of his teammates/girlfriend/army father. I think Scott Baio did a great job as Bradley.
No romance in this movie, just solid friendship and how things were in the 1980s (and now, probably). Bradley does succumb to his father's ravings about not having him associate with queers, but in the end he stays true to his principles and accepts Alex for who he is. Lovely lovely ending; friendship is a powerful thing.
