They face love, heartbreak, obsessions, finding/losing employment, discovering the meaning of life, living on the edge, betrayal, and the ultimate test of friendship and love.

I will ALWAYS watch this movie when it's on. Hysterical. I laugh that the characters were only 22 in the movie. Still a big Rob Lowe fan, have to say.
I believe that this was the first rated R movie I saw in the theater. How could I resist the Brat Pack? I agree, still a Rob Lowe fan as well...catch him on the show Brothers and Sisters. He would have been a fun President to watch for four years (on the show he ran and lost).
