Birthday Boy

About This Movie

Birthday Boy is a quirky little TV movie from '86 that showcases a salesman navigating both literal and metaphorical roads on his birthday. The pacing feels relaxed, almost meandering, which suits the low-stakes adventure. The tone mixes light comedy with some heartfelt moments, as our protagonist reflects on his past while trying to reconnect with his old gym coach. Practical effects? Not really the focus here, but the simplicity adds to its charm. Performances are solid, with a cast that seems to be enjoying the ride. It’s a slice-of-life piece that captures a certain nostalgia for simpler times, and for collectors, it’s a nice oddity in the realm of TV films.
