If you like modern-day soap operas, you should like this critics' favorite. It's simply an ensemble of 20-ish young people who hang out at the diner and give us - or so the critics think - witty and profound statements. To me, most of them just sounded obnoxious, profane (blasphemous (especially in Steve Guttenberg's character) and unappealing. It didn't do much for me: kind of like another "Big Chill" but with a different cast.
That was the only interesting aspect for me, seeing a young Kevin Bacon, Daniel Stern, Ellen Barkin, among others. I saw this on tape in the '90s instead of when it came out in the early '80s.
This is probably too talky for many people today, and they aren't missing much. It's overrated.
