It's New York City in 1981, and various twentysomethings are converging on a New Year's Eve party.
My review · Reviewed 04/29/2022
Every now and then I'll give a movie with a good cast yet poor reviews a look while on the treadmill. As you may have guessed, this was such a movie. Roger Ebert said that actors are essentially vessels waiting to be filled by a good screenplay. This movie offered the actors little in the way of material and the result is a pretty empty movie (Gabby Hoffman should have fired her agent after she wrapped this movie). The movie is essentially a series of empty scenes that are sloppily tied together at the end of the movie by a Chapelle monolog. Oh, so that's what this mess was about - I am glad he told me.
