When a group of middle-aged friends gets together to talk about various aspects of their lives, the gathering gradually turns into a drunken party. Kicked out of their cozy domestic environment by an irate wife, the men -- including Cavanaugh (Roy Scheider), Harold (Frank Langella), Solly (Harvey Keitel) and Terry (Treat Williams) -- head out for a night on the town. The male bonding culminates in a trip to a brothel, where the guys indulge in very risqué behavior.

They have no saving graces, and neither does this movie.

Perhaps the only nearly worthless film in Medak's filmography.

This was ridiculous. One long and continuous eye roll. The music only made this movie more laughable. It was a mix of lousy lounge music and jazz. Stay far away. Unless you seriously want to waste some time. So the other week I decided to start watching Jennifer Jason Leigh movies.. that's how I stumbled upon this one. Funny thing is her character was even acting like this movie was ridiculous. Plus I had bought a few large VHS lots on Ebay a few years back. I was organizing them today and found out I owned this VHS all along, remembered the movie after seeing it on her IMDB page a few weeks back. So thankfully I didn't even have to search for this movie to watch it. Hahaha.

One of those morbidly watchable so-bad-it's-good films, with some hilariously bad dialogue, music and naff 80s fashions. For five minutes it becomes a different film, when Jennifer Jason Leigh shows up and nearly scorches the screen.
