Not only the first film to give an indication of Kevin Costner's star power, but also a crucial point in his career, as the director here, Kevin Reynolds, became a firm friend and went on to make Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves and Waterworld with him. This gently quirky rite-of-passage comedy drama began life as a student project for Reynolds, and follows five college friends in the early seventies who set off on one last adolescent adventure before entering adulthood. Costner shines as the anarchic unofficial leader of the group, but he is more than matched by Judd Nelson, who turns in a powerful, mature performance.

Great, great film !
This is the daddy of road-trip films. A young Kevin Costner and his college mates on one last bash before they get conscripted (Vietnam), married or whatever.
I'm not a huge fan of Costner but here he plays it laid back and sometimes deep (similar to American Flyers) but throws in some great, funny scenes. Judd Nelson is superb and is involved in an awesome, hilarious scene invovling a parachute-jump in Hicksville.
Very funny and of its time, with a superb ending. Theres a quality soundtrack too.
Get it...you'll love it! -

road movie plus
been searching a copy of this for a little while.
i ask film buffs if they have heard of this film and get blank expressions back.
i saw it late one night and was smitten, there isnt another college/ teenager right of passage / road movie that comes near.
there are some genuinely original gags and
costner and gang are hilarious, in this now cult film.
