The CinePearl Take
Director Joel Schumacher balances earnest melodrama with a breezy, almost comic pace, letting the script’s clever banter shine. Rob Lowe and Emilio Estevez deliver the film’s most memorable moments, while Martin Balsam provides a grounded, paternal presence that anchors the chaos. The movie’s central theme—searching for purpose while clinging to youthful ideals—still resonates today.
