Classic movie.
Great movie that must be underrated. This board goes on, and on, about so many others on a regular basis.
By far the greatest high school reunion movie of all time, and except for the main character's occupation, the most realistic.
My favorite Cusak movie, by far.

That was the start of a great adult career for Cusack after struggling for nearly a decade after outgrowing the teen movies he did in the 80s ending with Say Anything in 89.
After GPB he did Con Air, High Fidelity, Pushing Tin, Being John Malkovich, in the next few years.
I'm older than most on here. The Grifters (1990) was the first of his roles that I really liked.
Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil (1997) is one of the best movies he's been in. His just wasn't one of the meatier roles in the film.

That character was much more like Nick Caraway or the interviewer from Interview with a Vampire - the story was sort of about "his" journey into the world, but not necessarily about him.

I have to assume this is a simple troll job because John Cusask has one of the best filmographies in Hollywood in terms of number of 7+ movies. He has been in tons of very good movies.

I absolutely love this movie. Pimento was such a great side-kick style role. So many great lines...
“See you at the ‘who are we kidding we’ve peaked’ party”
“Just searching for some validation and apparently I CAME UP SHORT!”

It's a classic because the whole is greater than the sum of the parts. Driver was off-the-charts good for her. Alan Arkin with a brilliant small role. Joan was better than John. Piven hit a homerun. Akroyd in a rare villain role. Tons of small performances (Azaria and K. Todd Freeman were great together as the government spooks, Michael Cudlitz, Steve Pink, Barbara Harris). The soundtrack was fantastic. The pacing was right.
The movie didn't miss a single beat.
This.
It shouldn't work, but it's just straight up charming as a film. Easy to enjoy any time. Rewatchable. Quotable.

Always thought this movie would make for a great TV series.

great dialogue and a star performance by john cusak. Plus the movie looks like it must have been a blast to shoot, everyone goes for it in their roles.
and yes, the best high school reunion movie ever made

The running gag of Cusack actually saying his real occupation, and the other characters playing it straight and asking “normal job” type questions was great. Does that come with dental?.
