It takes a lot in order for Jim Belushi to be the best actor in something.

A tiresome reminder of all those bad-taste things we left behind in the Eighties.

Starts out strong and has potential, but then deteriorates into soap opera and endless montages.

Great adaptation of Mamet's play...if they ever make my life story, Jim Belushi is playing me!

Shadows on the Wall

One of the best movies of the 80's. Lowe and Moore are hotter than hell

Simultaneously obnoxious and insightful; a great cast keeps things afloat.

While considered must see in its time its basic consideration (why buy the cow if you can get the milk for free?") has lost its impact. What's left are naked, anguished leads considering marriage while their buds vote "no" on the sidelines. I sadly kept waiting for the buds to hook up unfortunately.

A predictable, boring romantic drama that's only watchable for the sex scenes with the hot actors. Other than that, I don't care for this movie.
