Letterboxd reviews
★★★½ Rewatched by Tim Daugherty 16 Sep 2019

I’ve always thought this was an under-rated gem from the 80’s. Firstborn certainly had 80’s flair (not least of all the music), but it also had its own style about it. Mostly understated – and not as exuberant as its peers.

Of course Peter Weller is fantastic, and Terri Garr is believable as both a good mom and a “Coke head”. Is it weird to say this might be Corey Haim’s best performance? The fact Robert Downey Jr. is in this, it’s 1984, and he is NOT the coke addict is hilarious.

What I don’t love is the cheesy action sequence and all-to-clean ending. It’s the stuff of Hallmark Drama TV. Forgivable. It came with the territory back then. Less forgivable, and what prevents this from flirting with being really special, is that I hate the character of Jake. Not the actor, but the character. He just isn’t likable, and comes off as a know-it-all jerk. Everyone around him is made to seem like an obstacle to his magnificent moral compass. His mom, Dad, the new boyfriend, his brother, girlfriend, the teacher, coach, etc…..no one is quite as enlightened as Jake. Even the films title and movie poster reinforces this for some reason. I kind of think this should’ve been “Second-born”

I cheered a little when Weller gives him a right hook to the head. I suspect that wasn’t the intent.

Quote:
Hank and Frannie don’t seem to be able to live together anymore. After a five-year relationship, lustful and dreamy Fanny leaves down-to-earth Hank on the anniversary of their relationship. Each one of them meets their dream mate, but as bright as they may seem, they are but a stage of lights and colours. Will true love prevail over a seemingly glamorous passion?

Brooklyn Academy of Music writes:
After the era-defining successes of The Godfather and Apocalypse Now, Francis Ford Coppola nearly derailed his career with this exorbitantly expensive but gorgeously stylized musical romance, featuring songs by Tom Waits. Millions were spent (and lost) on a lavish soundstage recreation of Las Vegas, a neon dream against which two lovers (Forrest and Garr) break up and have affairs over the course of one Fourth of July.
