losers losers losers
same old cast same old losers...never got out of high school

They were blow-hards who were all talk had unrealistic expectations about any and all women, and pretty much knew nothing about them. I kind of felt sorry for them, to be honest.

The title refers to the old boys wanting to hold out for a beautiful girl. The monolog that Gina (O'Donnell) gave in the store with the two guys following her is pretty much the heart of the story.

What about Mo? He was OK. Good husband, sensible, loved his wife and kids. Paul and Tommy were the only ones I really wanted to smack.

Mo was pretty alright, but I hated when he yelled at his wife after Matt Dillon's character got beat up. Of course, he did apologize later.
