A high-school reunion in a snowy New England town brings together a diverse band of former classmates. They include NYC pianist Willie who has found only small success playing night clubs and is considering taking a job as a supply salesman. While in town, Willie, who is having relationship problems with his girlfriend, finds himself becoming friends with 13 year-old Marty. Then there's Tommy, the aging jock who though seriously involved with Sharon, cannot resist the occasional walk down memory lane by sleeping with the former prom-queen Darian, who is married but believes that her husband won't find out. Paul is dumped by his waitress girlfriend Jan, in part because of the swimsuit-clad supermodels plastered all over his walls. Paul then becomes attracted to Andera, who is visiting her cousin Stinky, a local tavern owner.
This is what I would term a "cute movie." There's not a whole lot of substance, but it's fairly entertaining. There were so many characters that it was impossible to explore any of them in depth, so you're left with a surface understanding about who they are. Therefore, the interaction between everyone is light and fluffy, although there were a couple of intense scenes. Also, the relationship between one of the men and a 13 year old girl was a bit creepy. It ended much like it began - dull and meandering.
