This is the type of movie they don't really make anymore--the loser writer tires to make sense of his life and tries to get the girl back and make his friends all work out (although the upcoming American Splendor kind of has that look to it). Earnest looking John Shea spends most of the movie trying to get all his pieces to fit in Chicago. Kate Capshaw is beautiful, looking like nothing less than a movie star.
It's a shame that this movie is only available in VHS format, from sources like Amazon. The quality of any older movie is greatly enhanced in digital format, plus it is more readily available, easier to store, and cheaper to ship. Casting for this movie was magnificent, too bad it was only produced as a "made for TV" production. If you like Chicago footage of the North Shore along Lake Michigan, the movie is worth seeing for that reason alone. There is a love story, the protagonist loses and tries to regain the affection of the love of his life. But the real theme of the movie is friendships, how they sustain boys becoming men, as they age and their lives change. "The Rogues," a group from the old neighborhood, grow older, but they don't necessarily "grow up." This is a light but not a frivolous movie, and it speaks well for the human condition. Acquire a copy, and save it for a moment when you need a breath of fresh air, a hug, & some dark roast. No disappointments!
Growing up with good friends marks a life of memories. You have a writer who has midlife crisis, other friends who are stuck in mundane lives. And the one who has a dream of sailing the sea. When he has become very successful, he gathered all his old friends who want to sail on a boat. In their youth, they were dreamers. The friend who was rich was later diagnosed with leukemia. As his health got worse, his spirits were high. He helped his friend who had a girlfriend who was getting married to someone else. After her marriage, he gets to go out to sea with his dying friend. Years later, the friend dies, and the rest have relocated with their careers. For him, he gets a second chance with the girlfriend from long time ago after her marriage failed.
A very good movie, gives moral support.
3.5 out of 5 stars.

I love this movie! This is a great movie especially if you are from Chicago. I saw this when I was away at college in la, missing my sweet home Chicago very much, so it really moved me. This movie really made me stop and think about what's really important in life. Great scenes walking alongside the lake. It's a beautiful story about about friendship, love and who you wanted to be along time ago. Life goes along like it should and you do what you need to do to make a living. Your friend from childhood becomes terminally ill and you remember all the dreams you once had. Great lines, great story. This is one of those feel good movies, one that makes you remember what is truly important important in life. I hope you love this movie as much as I did.

This is the type of movie that I still cannot get over has not been more known. A virtual "B" movie in terms of popularity, it is one of my favorites. It follows the life and times of several men, from boyhood to their adult lives...and the changes that occur in those relationships over time. This movie has a real Chicago feel (I'm born and raised here) and in my opinion is a refined "About Last Night." There is deeper meaning and developments of the relationships, and the ending ought to bring a tear to one's eye. John Shea is absolutely outstanding.
