I watched this on VHS in the mid-80s, when I was a yuppie, and "Married with Children". The movie is almost famous for Kevin Coster's being in the movie, in a scene or shot that cut! A largely pointless movie, but part of my history. A Hollywood fable of yuppie angst - fomo on the best things in life, including living an authentic life. ( )
