One of the great movies of 'our generation'...
Every so often each generation has a particular movie that they can relate to in their lives (i.e. like the generation previous to mine did with "The Big Chill"). This is our generations movie for people that were in their 20's heading into their 30's during the 1990's. For me this is one of the most brilliant performances of Steve Martin's career. I am not diminishing what the rest of the cast's performance in ace's either. There are a lot of great quotes in this great film as well. Everything is top notch. There is one quote, that has really stood out with me in this movie and probably always will, and I have to occasionally watch this movie to gain new perspective on it, every so often. But the quote is, Steve Martin's Character "Davis" saying, "That's part of your problem: you haven't seen enough movies. All of life's riddles are answered in the movies." This quote really changed my perspective on movies in general. I always loved film before, but this quote solidified my love for the medium and, now I simply adore movies. A lot of them especially nowadays are not so good and, sometimes just sometimes you get some that are really special to you in your own way. If anything I have stated here in my own opinion rings true here please feel free to respond. I want to hear your opinions whether they are positive or negative.
