May 21, 2024 It’s only aged semi-well and gets a bit clunky in places. Otherwise for dialogue alone it would rate 5 stars. It’s literally the reason Kasdan wrote The Big Chill. And it’s twice the movie that one is. See more Ravenswood R @RT16435246 Sep 10, 2023 Too many characters given equal weight. Where are they all from and exactly why are they together for a weekend "reunion?" Why do the out of towners know the locals? Why do the writer and director think you can have 12 main characters in a movie? It is confusing, and meanders from scene to scene with no plot. The scenes are half OK and half good. The me generation gets its first inklings that the fun is about to be over for good. The 80s will crush anything that was left of their progressive ideals, but all of these good natured quippy drips were born into affluence and they will do OK, and they know it. All of the characters are breezy and self sufficient in their privileged ways, and as a result they all lack feeling and depth. For all of the flaws, some light humor and Robert Altman influenced quirkiness and dialogue help maintain a medium level of interest. A good museum piece or time capsule of a very brief era for the then existing middle class in the late 1970s. See more Thomas M @TMProofreader Jan 26, 2019 The best, GREATEST movie ever made! See more Aug 17, 2014 John Sayles makes his directorial debut in this drama about College friends reuniting for a weekend and end up dealing with the break-up of one of the long time couples in the group. The movie is a decent, and more realistic and less phony than the more well-known film "The Big Chill", which came out a few years later. I enjoyed this indie drama, it has good dialogue and some nice moments, though I doubt it will really stick with me for years to come. See more Jan 11, 2014 A dull kind of proto-mumblecore that nonetheless has moments of insight and sincerity.
