    Editorial Reviews

    Sean Penn graduated to full stardom with the 1984 drama Racing with the Moon, even though the film itself hardly set new box office records. Set in the early years of World War II, the film stars Penn as a small-town teen-aged hotshot, six weeks away from being shipped out to fight overseas. In the meantime, Penn begins to date Elizabeth McGovern, whom he assumes is from a wealthy family. Penn's pal Nicolas Cage, who's gotten his girlfriend Suzanne Adkinson pregnant, imposes upon Penn to hit up McGovern for the abortion money. That's when Penn discovers that the girl barely has a penny to her name. Convinced that Penn cared for her only when he thought she was rich, McGovern walks out on him, but later teams up with Penn to help the unfortunate Adkinson. The plot is pure James Dean, a fact not lost on fans who regarded Sean Penn as the second coming of Dean. A very slight piece, Racing With the Moon is buoyed by the engaging performances of the stars, and by director Richard Benjamin's meticulous attention to period detail-especially in those peerless bowling-alley and skating-rink sequences.

    March 26, 2003: I was just flipping through our movie channels on satelite and then I came across this movie. It was about 10 minutes into the movie and I just started watching it and I have to say it was one of the BEST movies I have ever seen! Sean was a real cutie back then! I am so glad that I watched it and had my life changed than turning the channel back to MTV like I was about to do!!!! I recommend every person watch this movie!!!!!!!!

    November 07, 2001: In the depth's of my soul this movie is for all those who are as hopelessly romantic as I am. The chance to watch a bond progress through the trials and tribulations of two friends. Including the incredible love story that gives you that small ounce of hope that there is that one person,who contributes the feeling of indiscribable love. I honestly dont think this movie gets the recognition that it deserves.
