The true nature of friendship

This movie is an underrated classic and a must see for anyone who wants to know the true meaning of friendship.

Its a simple enough story, 4 adult male friends compete to see who makes the most money, starting from nothing in a strange city (Salt Lake City). Each goes their separate ways: One jumps head first into the money game, doing the hard sell the best he can, another gives all his money away and works as a mountain bike guide, another works as a bar tender and chases women and the forth, and presumably most sensible has all his money stolen by some thugs and is forced to live off the kindness of the others.

As the story unfolds this foursome learn a lot about themselves. We see, for example as the wild eyed anti-materialistic mountain bike guide actually has a more serious side and reasons why he is who he is. We see that the over-eager materialist is really more vulnerable than he seems, we see that the bartender is really weak and we finally see that the forth person is a lot stronger than he seems.

This is really a "guy" movie, but one that is not offensive to women or anyone. Its about friends finding out what makes them human beings.

Its a fun, inoffensive movie and one of the few movies I can watch over and over again.
