Plot

In 1959 Baltimore, five steadfast friends continue to meet at an all-night diner, something they've been doing since they were in high school. As they get older, life begins to change for them. Shrevie is the first to get married, but soon realizes that he has absolutely nothing in common with his wife Beth and they have nothing to talk about. Eddie is engaged but will only marry his fiancée if she passes a 140 question test on his beloved Baltimore Colts. Billy is completing his Master's degree and comes home early to be with Barbara, who he learns is pregnant. She won't marry him however. Boogie's main interests in life are women and gambling - but he owes an impatient bookie $2000. Tim is wasting his life away living off his trust fund and is drunk most of the time. Somehow they work through all of their problems.

Trivia

Married and with a Compromise

Just like his character Shrevie, Daniel Stern was the only main actor who was married when this movie was filming, and thus missed out on much of the nightclub action with the other guys.

Directional Debut

It is the first film by Barry Levinson, winner of the Oscar with '[RAIN MAN]' and director of iconic movies like '[YOUNG SHERLOCK HOLMES]'.

Young Squad of Future Stars

A lot of members of the crew, like Mickey Rourke or Kevin Bacon, enjoyed here of one of their first big chances in Hollywood.
