Review of Oxford Blues

Oxford Blues (1984)
5/10
Oxford University Blues

Warning: Spoilers
In 1984 there was only one university in Oxford, the University of Oxford. Since 1992 there have been two, the second one being Oxford Brookes University which has nothing to do with the original and more famous one that is the subject of Oxford Blues.

Anyway, this movie is okay. I saw it on a plane all those years ago, so no choice at all I'm afraid. Still, Rob Lowe was at his peak as a Rat Pack member, ruling over Oxford. But unfortunately you don't see the seedier side of Oxford, especially the suburbs of Cowley, Blackbird Leys, Rose Hill, Wood Farm and the adjoining Awgar Stone Road in "New Headington".

If there's ever a reboot of Oxford Blues, I nominate Danny Dyer to play an Oxford don.
