Good concept, poorly executed.

A Disappointing Continuation

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

I am from Oxford so am a little bias because I recognise the location. All in all it is a good comedy that all the family can enjoy (although it is a 15). Highlights include the stereotype of an Oxford student, The stereotype of an American, and trying to name all the pubs that you see. I recommend to anyone who is from or has ever visited Oxford to watch this film because it is of the highest quality and guaranteed laughter all the way. If you can not find humor in the romantic yet slightly far fetched plot line then at least in the great characters as each one is very easy to relate to and they all have great names. This is the best advert for Oxford University that I have seen, so work hard kids and you too could be just like Nick DeAngelo.

What most impresses me about this movie and a few others from the 80'slike Breakfast Club and St. Elmo's Fire is how they lack all the brash,rude and obnoxiousness found in movies today! The young generation ofthat time ( and every young person has thier time) didn't fill thescreen with crude language and remarks degrading to each other. In thismovie they still had enough good sense to not curse like uneducatedheathens! Seems like all the movies today just seem to fill the screen with oneF**k and a$$hole and sheeet and every other imaginable word you coulduse just to see how many they can say in 90 minutes! It surely is a time gone by and perhaps we do live in a world that ismore realistic and streetwise, but it sure isn't going to make the worlda better place throwing obsceneties it in our face all the time! Oxford Blues was refreshing because it had some class even though it wasa simple plot and a simple movie. And Rob Lowe was one heck of a goodlooking

I found this video in a garage sale about 6 years ago , and bought it mainly because it had was set in Oxford and starred Rob Lowe. If you like any so called "BratPack" type of film from the 80's you should try and get hold of a copy of Oxford Blues. Yes it is true that its not all that well put together and some of the acting is a bit rough around the edges, But I have never got bored of watching it. The main thing I liked about it was it did have a story line, which a lot of films dont have. Watching Rob Lowe's character make his dreams come true by winning the heart of Lady Victoria , Gets my vote!. I like people with ambitions and thats probably why I liked this film. So dont be put off by any negative comments, as I think its a classic 80's film. I had better warn you that finding a copy could be a nightmare!

This is one of those movies which makes you think: would Hulk " The real American " Hogan have done the same? Frankly I don't think so and he'd have been right. I'm Italian, I cannot go proud of my country for many reasons, but I wouldn't have rowed for another team (The French, for example), simply because I'm in love with Juliette Binoche. Besides the protagonist doesn't fall in love desire with a British girl at the end of the movie but with a fellow countrywoman, so why rowing against Yale. As far as acting is concerned, well, all the players act very poorly. And then , you know, I hated that "Dead poets society " atmosphere. In fact that's another movie I hate.
