Filmed in 1989, sat on the shelf for 3 years, and that is where it should have stayed. Starring C. Thomas Howell should have been another indication, apart from one or two of his early movies, he hasn't been in a decent film since. I should have known better than to sit thru this waste of celluloid. No wonder they changed the title, as it is also known as Sketches, I don't know what that title has to do with the movie, makes it sound like stand up comedy. Where do I apply for my 100 minutes back? Sad, it had good performances by the three main actors, but the totally unrealistic characters and situations along the way just ruined the movie. So, don't believe all those positive reviews, probably from people belonging to the movie, and save yourself 100 minutes for something worthwhile. And if you do decide to waste your time, remember, I told you so!!
