Not a bad movie.
Had some decent scenes that portray how people talk and act back East.
I could relate to a lot of what they were talking about.
Decent enough to watch when you got nothing else to do.
It's similar to St. Elmo's Fire or the Big Chill or something along those lines.
Thanks again Monet - I thought it was a solid movie. When Harvey Weinstein produced this movie, I would imagine he had no idea what was in store for him in the future. How the world has changed. In the movie, "Stinky", the co-owner of the Johnson Inn, said "We've got great apps" or words to that effect - meaning of course that they served great appetizers. Now, of course, this phrase has a totally different meaning. I'm almost positive that one of the model posters in Michael Rappaport's (Paul Kirkwood) room was of Lauren Holly (Darian Smalls) who played the high school ex-girlfriend that Matt Dillon was having an affair with in the movie.
I'm sure many of the towns in upstate New York have a great sense of community even now, just as they did when this movie was made - not a bad way to live one's life IMHO.
