    My son had been talking to his dad about the song Wayward Son,by Kansas, we wanted him to see how it was integrated into the movie, but for some reason it has been removed from the DVD Very disappointing... still a good movie... but the song gave it additional flavor that is now missing.

    Really liked the show and rented it to show my son, but the story lost impact by removing the original song, Carry On Wayward Son, at the end. Needs to be restored to its original form to retain that impact and drive its point home.

    Great performances, particularly at the end by both Sally Field and Henry Winkler. I was surprised at the depth in which Winkler could play the role of troubled Vietnam vet Jack Dunne. Campy in ways only 70's movies always seem to be, but great. Look also for Harrison Ford as one of Dunne's buddies. His role is a dud, so it's a bit ironic as to who became more sought after than the other in real life.
