Great character studies and atmosphere. Looks like the 80's generation has touched down to the harsh realities of life and living as two friends take a day off their normal existences to hunt down an old buddy who is suppossedly living homeless in Coney Island. The strange,yet so human people they meet while searching and the way they come to terms with themselves is riviting and this is absolutely one of the finest movies I've seen in a really long time.Sorry Fwongo!!

If you were a fan of Jon Cryer's when he made all those teen movies, you'll be thrilled to know he is still alive and well - and acting - and doing quite a fine job of it. I think he shines in this film, where he gets to be more than cute and adorable in that quirky way he had - not quite teen movie handsome, just strange. Now he's older and better, in my opinion. I like small, independent movies, not those aimed at mainstream audiences and this story of 3 guys who were childhood friends and one of them who got lost is appealing, if a bit slow at times. It grew on me. By the way, this one IS available in VHS as well, although you'll have to search for it.

I'm a big fan of coney island the shots of the cyclone are terrific I went there last summer to see it for myself. I hope more people will see this movie the characters are intriging and very beleavable, if you had friends like these, the world would be a better place.
