The Best of Times (1986)

The Best of Times (1986) is a comedy/drama/sports picture, starring Robin Williams and Kurt Russell, about a small-time loser who is determined to have one more shot at the big time by winning a football game. These types of movies are like tearjerkers for old men, but men like more bodily fluids than those that leak from their eyes. That’s where Pamela Reed and Holly Palance come in, playing our stars’ better halves. The trouble is we only see about half of their better parts. No real nudity, but Holly in a teddy is a sexy sight, and it’s enough to get us through the hour and a half with a bit of play.
