The TVI Take
Barry Levinson's 1982 directorial debut about a group of young men in 1959 Baltimore who reunite for a friend's wedding. The structural commitment to letting late-adolescent male-friendship cognitive material — the canonical 'diner-as-clubhouse' set-piece, the football-trivia-as-relationship-test premise — be the actual subject is the canonical pre-Stand-by-Me male-friendship film.
Mickey Rourke, Steve Guttenberg, Daniel Stern, Kevin Bacon, Tim Daly, Ellen Barkin, Paul Reiser all early-career roles.
