Trivia:
When Tommy (Matt Dillon) tells Paul (Michael Rapaport) that he's not going to the reunion, choosing instead to stay at home to watch "Rich Man, Poor Man" (1976), the two men gush about Falconetti, of 'Rich Man, Poor Man', being the greatest on-screen villain. Falconetti was played by character actor William Smith who later played a store clerk in The Outsiders (1983), appearing in just one memorable scene directly with Dallas Winston, the character played by Matt Dillon. more

2004 and it's still there, 3 October 2004
Author: Matthew (mjz_70) from Japan

My friends accuse me (rather accurately) for being a sap - for liking this 90's chic flick. But they are wrong about this movie. This movie is entertaining and sometimes fluffy, but more importantly it is real and timely. Amongst all the hype of the X-Gen, this movie boiled down our mood (all us kids who are still growing up) in a small town setting where the people were real (except for Rosie, she should have ended up on the editing room floor). The slight plot is less important than the setting and the circumstances. Winter in small town Massachusetts, on the frozen lakes, and the plowed roads and small taverns - on the edge of early mid-life adulthood for yet another lost generation...the movie leaves you with a cold warm snow feeling of hope and sorrow for people in transition, that usually only a classic novel (like those by F. Scott or Hemingway)can give you.
