Mixed results in current teen film wave

Review notes a range of teen and young adult films from Vision Quest to The Breakfast Club. It praises Vision Quest for warmth and sincerity while criticizing Mischief Flamingo Kid and Fast Forward for relying on stereotypes or formula. It singles out Falcon and the Snowman Turk 182 as adult-tinged with teen sensibilities, and questions Mass Appeal for failing to capture depth.

Vision Quest review relies on familiar comingofage tropes

The piece critiques Vision Quest as a checklist of ingredients from recent hits. It credits Matthew Modine with the only notable performance while noting his rising profile from Hotel New Hampshire to Mrs Soffel and Birdy, and highlights the film's derivative components.

Fast Forward flops with fluff and flawed dance fantasy

Review calls Fast Forward a guileless street dance film with mixed-race Ohio teens traveling to New York for a national shootout. Poitier directs in slick style but fails to integrate dance into a dull story, delivering over choreographed scenes and little spontaneity.
