5.0 out of 5 stars Very Exciting, Awesome Soundtrack!, August 8, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: American Anthem [VHS] (VHS Tape)
American Anthem was first introduced to me when I was a teenager at a group home, by a very close friend of mine. She told me that we were lucky to get it cause it was the last new release in the video store. And the first time we saw it, we were highly addicted. We were so addicted, that we had to convince the video store to give us a few more days extra to keep it. What was even more fun was that we actually spent a whole day from mornin to night watching it over and over! That's how AWESOME the movie is! It's old, and to most poeple OLD NEWS, but that's what's so great about it. If you haven't seen it, SEE IT! You won't be dissappointed!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent and the Music is just as great!!!, July 27, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: American Anthem [VHS] (VHS Tape)
The theme is a wonderful drama with conflict and resolution. It is quite sad to see how the father son relationship exists. But the film has made me be able to do what I have always dreamt of doing. Believe in yourself and having support can and often does push one to accomplish their dream, just as in the movie. Excellent movie and if you haven't seen it, see it!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Must See !, November 19, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: American Anthem [VHS] (VHS Tape)
I saw this movie when I was a teenager, my best friend and I recommended it to everyone, we even bought the soundtrack, as the music is Excellent. The Storyline, Gymnastics and Romance combine to make a movie which you will want to watch over and over again. If you haven't seen this movie, even though now fairly old, see it, it will be well worth it.
