The creepiness of Emilio Estevez's pursuit of Andie McDowell almost completely ruined the movie for me. Absolutely cringe-inducing, which was the point, but I thought it was too much.

Also, overall, I get that post college years can be a difficult transition for many, but damn what losers these characters were. Too over the top for a collection of Georgetown graduates during the economic boom of the 80s. It's too big of a leap for me to think that crew would be struggling at that level.

I found Andrew McCarthy to be far creepier.

But he was just a creepy guy in general.

Pretty much this. Working as waiters, saxophone player in a bar, secretary/whore...etc.

This made zero sense in the economic boom of the 80's as GEORGETOWN grads.

And no way in hell Rob Lowe's character ever made it through Georgetown - let alone got in.

And what's the point of the fat chick? To throw in one character that might actually have graduated from Georgetown in real life???
