Plot

Seven college friends from the 1960s gather for the funeral of one of them, Alex, who has taken his own life. Over the weekend at a country house in South Carolina, they talk, laugh and face the compromises of their adult lives and the loss of their youthful ideals. Lawrence Kasdan's 1983 film, with a soundtrack of Motown hits, was a hit and a cultural touchstone for the baby-boom generation.

Sinekatalog’s take

Lawrence Kasdan's reunion drama is a warm, funny look at friends facing middle age. Its ensemble chemistry and Motown soundtrack made it an enduring generational touchstone.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
