Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaActor Rob Lowe recalled that when his agent sent him the script by messenger, "a strange thing happened. I started reading it in the bathtub. I was only going to skim the first few pages. But by page 73, the water was cold, and I was totally into the character. We hadn't even discussed whether I'd do the picture . . . but I knew that nothing could stop me".
- GoofsThe end of the movie apparently takes place when the softball team has a spring practice. However, we see that the leaves are changing.
- Alternate versionsDespite the fact that India takes issues with sex, the film was never released in India during the '80s, but the film was given a 'U' (unrestricted) certificate for television showings only in the Chennai region in 2007. It is clearly unknown if it was cut or uncut.

Featured review
I missed this one when it was first released 28 years ago and didn't expect much from a movie that I thought only involved adolescent love and sex. Well, after seeing it, I came to a different conclusion because the movie was an honest story of a young couple (played by Rob Lowe and Demi Moore) who fall in love and decide to live together but cannot make the relationship work. Maybe it was the fact that they made an effort to admit they really cared for each other and tried to get past their youthful egos after the relationship first fell apart. They also tried to work things out with their their best friends who wanted to foil them from being together, in part because the friends (James Belushi and Elizabeth Perkins) did not want to lose them. Lowe and Moore also show the loneliness of life following their relationship as they go to bars making futile efforts to find someone compatible. The script and acting was generally good, particularly Belushi whose character is typical of many young men who like their buddies and pretend to know how to snare women without getting involved with them. Belushi also delivered the best humour. I liked the location of Chicago with the skyscrapers, the elevated trains and the waterfront. it is still a good movie about life in the 1980's as two young people try to make the transition from bachelor life to a successful loving relationship.
