Description

    Small-town banker Robin Williams has never been able to live down the fact that he dropped an important pass during a crucial high-school football game. Likewise tainted for life is the team's star quarterback Kurt Russell, now a garage owner. Fed up with living his life under a cloud, Williams hits upon a brilliant idea: he will stage a rematch-13 years after the fact--with the members of the rival team. Trouble beckons when Williams' father-in-law announces that he's rooting for the opposition. Williams is determined to win, and in pursuit of that goal he pushes his former teammates to hitherto untapped brilliance. Directed by Roger Spottiswood, The Best of Times was written by Ron Shelton, future writer/director of such delightful sports films as Bull Durham, White Men Can't Jump and Tin Cup; it was Shelton, in fact, who directed most of Best of Times' climactic football game. Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Expert Reviews

There is real charm and warmth in the simple romantic comedyThe Best of Times. The two lead couples Jack (Robin Williams) and Elly (Holly Palance) and Reno Kurt Russell and Gigi (the wonderful Pamela Reed) reveal an intimacy (thanks to Ron Shelton's warm, perceptive screenplay) that allows the viewer to see both sides of their respective marital disputes, even though the film spends more time with the guys. The film is about men who live in the past and must confront it in order to live with themselves and their wives in the present. One of the smarter touches in this script is that Reno, who is as beloved for his past success as Jack is tainted by his failures, suffers just as much for his inability to put the past behind him. All of that, however, is subtext for a very funny movie about high school football and how much it means to small towns. Although The Best of Times is directed by Roger Spottiswoode, and contains fine performances from its talented cast, it clearly belongs to screenwriter Ron Shelton, whose later directorial efforts (Bull Durham, White Men Can't Jump, Tin Cup) are also about sports-obsessed adult "boys" who learn to be men.
