With a simply superb funeral introduction, it would be able to be fooled into thinking this movie the classic some make to be. For an 80's flick the audience-friendly, adult get-together plays out like The Breakfast Club for yuppies, exuding some memorable energy at points but misfiring just as clearly at others.
Unfortunately, when it appears Kasdan has managed to authentically capture this old group of friends admirably, besides for throwing in occasional juicy tidbits of underplayed drama, the arc begins falling around midpoint and never manages to recuperate steam.
Some of the lines feel extremely foolish by now, but the chemistry between this group remains.
