The movie stars Brad Davis, Karen Allen (Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Arc, Starman), Jameson Parker (White Dog, Anatomy of a Seduction), Shelly Long (Cheers tv, The Money Pit).
The plot is of three people who become friends, while at Harverd. This developes into the three living together. The movie is set durring the late 60's and early70's. The movie is in the form of a flashback when Allen and Parkers characters have a chance meeting in the present.
Im rating the movie as a C-, D. There is a song that was used throughout the movie with a french horn. It was a poor choice. The song was trying to get me to feel like this was the greatest movie ever (not exactly what Im trying to say but kind of close.) It came across as portentious and did not work for me. Also with in the first five minutes you are intorduced to Davis's character. For the last few weeks the word meglomaniac has been stuck in my head. Davis character was a maglomaniac. He pretended to be blind so he could go to the frount of the registration line. He goes on about a blind person being able to take a photo class then everybody in line applauded. He came across as he is the only person that matters. For me all I had for his character was hate. The fact that his character dies is no big deal so what. Thats not a good reaction for a main character.
