Reviews
Well written and acted ensemble film. Deserved to do so much better at the box office.
Very much an ensemble-driven zeitgeist film like Kasdan's previous Big Chill, this serio comedy about urban angst in contemporary LA may be a bit pretentious in its symbolic aspirations, but it proved prophetic in some of its ideas.
Mack: 'Why is it that when someone's successful in one field, they think they know about everything?' Gee Mack, I dunno. Ask Larry Kasdan.
Kasdan semi-revisits "Big Chill" territory in this well-acted dramatic ensemble.
