This one grabbed my eye at the library. It's an ensemble cast made up of everyone who wasn't part of the Brat Pack in 1982. Steve Guttenberg, Daniel Stern, Mickey Rourke, Kevin Bacon, Tim Daly and Paul Reiser hang out at their favorite diner in Baltimore eating fries with gravy (no cheese curds) and learn lessons about life and love and whathaveyou. Shades of "Swingers" and "The Outsiders", just not quite as good. The high point and really the only great part of the movie is when Guttenberg makes his fiancée take a 140 question test on football trivia before he'll agree to marry her. Nobody says anything as cool as, "Stay gold, Ponyboy. Stay gold."
