by a long shot.
Springfield plays Jamie Roberts, a
rock star who is constantly being
chased by adoring female fans. It is
while he- is getting away from these
fans that he runs into Diana Lawson's
car (Janet Eilbcr). Thus begins his
obsession with Diana, who works with
disturbed children and has no need for
rock music and, especially, a "rock per
son of some sort."
She finally falls for Jamie, but his
jealous co-songwriter Nicky (Hanson)
cribe Hard to Hold, the latest in a long
line of rock-oriented movies to be re
leased in the last year.
Surprisingly, the best thing about doesnt like seeing the couple together
this movie is Hick Springfield's acting, so she makes it hard on them by con-
which overshadows co-stars Janet Eil- stantly throwing fits and sending a
bcr and Patti Hanson's paltry talents mob of teenagers after the couple

through the streets of San Francisco.
Although Diana is in love with Jamie,
she is reluctant throughout the movie
to admit it or be serious about their
relationship.
The story line b cliched and mean
ingless, which is typical for screenwri-,
ter Tom Hedley, who also wrote Flash
dance. But unlike Haskdance, Hard to
Hold doesn't appeal to anyone's emo
tions and the actors don't hold the
movie together.
Another downfall of this movie is
that for half of it Springfield is running
around in his shorts perfect for the
teen beat set. But Hard to Hold also
portrays what the life of a rock star

can be like. Springfield has obviously
taken from his own experience in the
rock world and uses it to create a semi
realistic view of the disadvantages of
being in the public eye. , ,
The soundtrack sounds like the rest
of the songs in Springfield's career
commercial pop. It does absolutely
nothing for the movie, although it does
seem like the film was written around
the music. This ultimately weakens
Hard to Hold.
Although Rick Springfield does a
wonderful acting job, there are too
many things wrong with this movie for
it, say, to be nominated for an Oscar.
But it is slightly humorous and pro
vides a few enjoyable moments.
