Synopsis
Johnny Be Good (1988) is Bud S. Smith's high-school comedy, free to watch online on iFILM. Star quarterback Johnny Walker has every college recruiter in the country chasing his signature.
He is short and scrawny, but on the field he is gold, so the scouts come swinging. Colleges fly Johnny out to parties, dangle car keys and pretty girls, and promise the world if he will just pick their team. Meanwhile his girlfriend Georgia waits on a plainer question: will he stay close, or sell himself to the highest bidder? Anthony Michael Hall leads, with a young Robert Downey Jr. as his wisecracking buddy and Uma Thurman in one of her earliest roles.
This is pure late-eighties stuff — locker-room gags, dumb jokes, a guitar-heavy soundtrack and a tidy lesson at the buzzer. Do not go looking for art; it is a light weekend watch built on nostalgia. The real draw is a cast about to scatter into much bigger things. Stream Johnny Be Good (1988) online on iFILM.
