Johnny Be Good - BLU-RAY

Scrawny and short, high school quarterback Johnny Walker (Anthony Michael Hall, Sixteen Candles) is America's most unlikely football prospect. Johnny finds himself in the enviable position of being courted by the country's top football recruiters. However, he's torn between waiting for a top offer with big bucks, egged on by his best friend Leo (Robert Downey, Jr., Iron Man) or joining his girlfriend, Georgia (Uma Thurman, Kill Bill) at a college where he can pursue a well-rounded education. The temptation for a big payday, coupled with lavish gifts and promises of fame & fortune are just a few of the roadblocks he'll navigate in this comedy with heart, Johnny Be Good. Directed by Bud Smith from a screenplay written by Steve Zacharias, Jeff Buhai and David Obst, the supporting cast includes Paul Gleason (The Breakfast Club), Jennifer Tilly (Bullets Over Broadway), Seymour Cassel (Minnie and Moskowitz, Valentino) and cameos by famed sportscaster Howard Cossell and football quarterback Jim McMahon.

Based on the 1936 screwball classic starring William Powell and Carole Lombard, the 1957 remake of My Man Godfrey stars David Niven (Bedtime Story) and June Allyson (The Opposite S*x). On a mad scavenger hunt, socialite Irene Bullock (Allyson) stumbles upon grizzled street person Godfrey (Niven) underneath an East River bridge. Claiming him as a scavenger item, Irene wins the contest. Delighted and impressed with him, the daffy heiress makes him the new family butler. As Irene succumbs to his romantic charms, Godfrey slowly wins over the entire family with his extraordinary wit and style all except Irene's jealous sister Cordelia (Martha Hyer, Paris Holiday). This cunning, class-act comedy comes handsomely produced by Ross Hunter (There's Always Tomorrow, The Art of Love) and directed by Henry Koster (The Bishop's Wife, Flower Drum Song).

He's a loveable, huggable, somewhat klutzy St. Bernard that everyone in the Newton family loves... except daddy George (Charles Grodin), who keeps fighting a losing battle to get rid of the monstrous pooch.
