I watched this movie thinking it was going to be just about four friends setting a challenge for themselves to see who would come out on top, but in the end, they all did. Each took a different approach; one focused almost solely on earning money, another made lots of intimate contacts, one was a hippie/explorer and the fourth, took the slow and hard path in his quest. Through all their experiences, the true meaning of friendship shone like a ray of sunshine upon them and they realized what really mattered. I won't spoil events in the film by telling you what happened, however I'll say this..the resolution touched me and made me wish that I had friends as close and good as the four guys had in each other. Nothing is more important in life than a good friend!
... View MoreI've watched this movie several times and feel it was an underrated movie. I don't remember it in theaters or being shown on TV, I got a copy from a friend who had it on vhs. It was interesting to watch four grown men go from self- serving individuals, to ones who truly valued their friends and to be supportive of them. Michael T Weiss gave one of his best performances. His performance in Jeffery was outstanding, he was still growing as an actor. The other three actors also gave excellent performances. I recommend this film to fans of M. T> Weiss.
... View MoreThis one is way too trivial and not thought through. It is about these four people from different backgrounds that make a bet who can get the highest net worth after a month in an unfamiliar city (Salt Lake City)with an initial amount of a hundred dollars in their pockets. All the persons are way too stereotypical. The "hippie" spur of the moment type guy has had a hard upbringing, the seemingly wealthy hotshot stock broker is really up to his neck in debts, the sensible one takes the hard but right way, and so on... It's a movie for people who believe in the personality types that were built up for *NSync and similar bands are telling the truth about the members of the band.... Anyway, no matter what their differences between the movie characters are, it's still just a test of how good their friendhip is. Come on... Whoever said this is original is wrong. This is too predictable. And too slow. And too stereotypical.
... View Morequite the sleeper. My girlfriend talked me into watching it...boy did I thank her for turning me on to this great sleeper. Kept me guessing throughout the entire film. Definately an original. Shocking look at a different type of reality.
