Review of The All-American Boy

I have always confounded this movie with PAPERBACK HERO. Same year, same kind of offbeat drama, a kind of character, psychological study, sometimes very sad, sometimes funny. The tale of a man in search of himself, with actors who look like one to each other. An existential tale with of course a down beat ending; at least bitter sweet which leaves you an ash taste in the mouth. Another point in common, sport drama; I guess there are many more like this one.
