Holly A 03/12/2024 This was my generations High School & College experience. If you were a GenXer in high school or college in the 80's this was our life. See more 06/10/2011 Pretty Cool movie .. Would Love the soundtrack! See more 11/22/2010 First the cons: Weak script, cliche characters, inconsistent acting chops among cast. The pros: The premise of looking back at teenagedom in the 80s as responsible (or irresponsible) 30-somethings, the incredible soundtrack, and the few characters of substance played by Eric Stoltz, Tate Donovan and Peter Facinelli (who interestingly enough, don't fall into the Class of '88 main character ensemble and find themselves as outsiders in some form or another). As far as the other characters go, I don't think I would have been friends with any of these people in high school-- and perhaps because of or in spite of that fact, it was somewhat entertaining to be a proverbial fly on this cinematic wall! Worth checking out on Netflix. See more 07/16/2010 Really enjoyed this - yes, it's a "Big Chill" for those of us who graduated high school in the '80's, but it's fun, smart, and the pop culture references are great - recommended. See more 02/01/2010 Pretty much a big rip off of "The Big Chill". The cast is great, but the script is just plain weak. See more 08/21/2009 What is, essentially, The Big Chill for Generation X (in fact it bills itself that way), suffers from the same problem as its inspiration - it's dull. Some good actors are left stranded with barely defined characters by a poor script that is all nostalgia and no substance. Despite this, Connie Britton continues to prove that she is one of the finest and most underrated actors working today. See more Read all reviews
