Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaJohn Cusack took over 600 hours of skiing lessons in preparation for this movie. The 600 hours is equivalent to fifteen 40 hour weeks.
- GoofsWhen James Spader lifts the case of champagne bottles at the end of the film, it is obvious that the case has little to no weight in it, meaning the prop bottles are empty.

Featured review
It's odd how some movies really resonate with you as individual but do not necessarily have mass appeal. I think this is a sleeper, not many people have seen it. This is one of my favourites & a movie I go back to from time to time. It's a real journey, picking Spader & Cusack's characters up as they commence college like & following them for the next 10 years or so into there respective careers & personal lives.
While both are high achievers; Spader comes from a successful wealthy family & Cusack from a modest working class back ground. Consequently there attitudes & what drives them is completely different. I found exploring both characters fascinating as there relationship is put under enormous strain.
It's set from 1984 onwards so if you enjoy being nostalgic over that capitalistic age, & enjoyed the brat pack movies, this will help. Also an excellent score by Michael Lang called fanfare. Hope you enjoyed it like it did.
