Rabid underdoggism in "the scariest, most fascinating sport on the face of the planet" -- namely, college debate; more namely, two freshmen from little Kenmont up against mighty Harvard, on national TV in front of the U.S. Supreme Court (topic: abortion). What passes as intellection ("I'd like to sum up with a quote from my good buddy Dostoevski") earns a few snickers; what passes as emotion earns only groans; and emotion beats the other to a bloody pulp. With Kirk Cameron, Jami Gertz, Tim Quill, and Roy Scheider; written and directed by Douglas Day Stewart. (1989) — Duncan Shepherd
