I grew up watching this quite a bit but no one ever seems to have heard of it. I got really excited when I saw that it was on Amazon - Cinemax. I love Andrew McCarthy and Patrick Dempsey was all set for my nostalgia wave. Sadly, Dempsey has maybe 3 or 4 lines in this movie. I don't remember his role being so minor. McCarthy was great in this. He is great at playing the quiet, introspective nice guy. This movie takes off pretty slowly but seems to pick up pace, only to end at the most random point and without tying up storylines. We are given a brief run-down of what happens to each guy in the following years but it lacks quite a bit in my opinion. As a kid, I loved this movie and thought it was great but as an adult, I was left saying "huh?". I enjoyed the scenes with Masterson and McCarthy. The best thing about this movie has got to be Caesar though. His lines and delivery are the best. Worst thing about this movie is the loose ends... and Rooney. That character is insufferable.
