It was still sort of tough. Of course my kids saw Jaws when they were five so maybe I should shut up. The OH version has not been released on DVD.<br /><br />SJ, you are right, it is a standard coming of age story, but with all that 70s angst.

I don't think this would have anything like the power it does with a different soundtrack behind it--the two are nearly perfect together. <br /><br />The story here isn't really that exceptional. It's pretty much a standard coming of age. But it's done really well and it's done within an inch of its life. I liked this a lot more than I thought I would. That's always a pleasant surprise.SJHoneywellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13550007053995112090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3724453628120151835.post-88005935080091052482014-06-12T17:28:42.105-05:002014-06-12T17:28:42.105-05:00I recently purchased a pristine copy of the PG ver...I recently purchased a pristine copy of the PG version on VHS from eBay. As far as I know, this version is not available on DVD or Blue-Ray in the United States. After nearly 30 years, I was very curious to remember what the difference was between both versions. Clearly, there's no comparison, but I have to admit that most of the edits and deletions are done rather smoothly. When I was a kid, though, the PG theatrical re-release was a blessing because it gave me a chance to see this great film again on screen. I saw the original R-rated version when I was ten years-old, but there was no was my parents were going to take me to see a film filled with such raw profanity a second time. Anyway, I suppose now that I own the PG version in some form, I can show it to my eight year-old son and not worry too much.Eric F.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05062980077091387176noreply@blogger.com
