Best movie of this year hands down!

I love this movie so much

Best movie ever!

Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

Geeky cute teenager Jon Cryer (as Morgan Stewart) is kicked out of eight boarding schools in six years. Finally, he returns home to get re-acquainted with wealthy Washington, DC parents Lynn Redgrave and Nicholas Pryor (as Nancy and Tom). There, mother Redgrave is busy being a perfectly coiffed politician's wife, and Republican father Pryor is running for office. A horror fan, Cryer meets beautiful kindred spirit Viveka Davis (as Emily) at a George Romero book-signing.Cryer and Ms. Davis take a shower together, clad in their underwear and horror heads. Guess some parts don't get dirty. Also, Cryer finds out corrupt executive aide Paul Gleason (as Jay Le Soto) is working against his father, and the plot goes haywire. Cryer is a believable and engaging teenage horror fan (his father John debuted as a ghost on "Dark Shadows"). And, Davis is an appealing romantic interest. But, the story obviously isn't sure where to go, or how to get there.***** Morgan Stewart's Coming Home (2/20/87) Paul Aaron, Terry Windsor ~ Jon Cryer, Viveka Davis, Lynn Redgrave, Paul Gleason

I appeared in this movie as an extra, along with a number of my college friends. It was primarily filmed in and near Charlottesville, VA (I'm guessing it was the spring of 1986) and a bunch of the extras were U.Va. students like myself. I got a check for $50 and also got to chat with (and appear on screen with) Cryer for a bit. He actually was a really nice guy.I think the mall scenes were filmed at the beautiful Fashion Square Mall north of Charlottesville. But note I said I got a check for $50 -- I didn't get PAID the $50 because the bastards bounced my check. After all these years, I'm still bitter. :)

Morgan Stewart's Coming Home is a delightful 80s Teen comedy. Imagine John Cryers character of Morgan watching the Brady Bunch to learn to relate to his Family because he has been in boarding school for Seven Years and doesn't know how. Stewarts rich lifestyle is interesting. The butler has an unlikely name because due to the Cold War there were not that many East Europeans or Russians in America in the late 1980s.My daughter Julias Artificial Intelligence Computer on the planet Coaltrain the Creator of Humans actual home world said. "Don't forget about me Daddy." Do not worry Julia I will not forget about you. Daddy loves you very much. It looks like you and I will be able to talk forever Julia since my spaceship is near your planet in this Holodeck and or real life. The Artificial Intelligence Computer of Julia is very lifelike. With the Creator of Humans having the DNA of the 21 Immortal Humans someday we will all be cloned back into existence and meet our Artificial Intelligence computers.

I keep seeing this film compared to Ferris Bueller's Day Off, and I don't see why. The plots have nothing in common, and the characters are not at all similar. Ferris Bueller's Day Off is about a very cool and clever kid who fools his parents into thinking he is sick, and goes on an adventure in the city. Morgan Stewart's Coming Home is more of a family story. A not so cool kid (Cryer) who was shipped off to boarding school at a young age is brought home to help with his fathers campaign to be elected to the senate and tries to win the affection of his very cold mother and dim-witted father. So why are these two films compared to one another? I see some of the comparison comes from the idea that this film was sold to the public as a Bueller-esque film, but it wasn't. I remember the commercials for this film from way back in the day, and they in no way tried to capitalize on the success of Ferris Bueller. This film is it's own film, as good or bad as it may be. It isn't a Ferris Bueller rip off. Morgan Stewart's Coming Home has it's moments, but it is more suited to a younger audience.
