Let's dance while the music plays

I think the balance of this film, for its oeuvre, was very close to perfect. It has some flaws but so do our lives. A film with heart and humour, great performances from the cast (this must have been a hoot to be a part of) and solid unshowy writing. I laughed, shed a tear, but the warmth of the film stays with me. The thanksgiving scene was splendid; I've been to a few myself when I lived in the ... read more

" Robert Downey Jr. - Tommy Tommy was as mischievous as he was gorgeous. He snuck into his sisters room during the night tore the covers off her and took Polaroids. He's was thoughtful. He came to the family Thanksgiving for his sister sake because she was going through some hard times and the family was looking down on her. "

Master Downey (Robert Downey Jr.) :D (47 movies items)

"33 as Tommy Larson OMG I fell in love with his character in this movie! From his entrance of sneaking into his mothers house the night before Thanksgiving and ripping the covers off his sister and taking Polaroids of her. He's so absolutely crazy in this movie. It reminded me of his character Leo from Johnny be Good. Jodie Foster who directed and did commentary for the dvd said most of what his character said and did was improvised. He improvised on what he said when he danced with his m"

"We always watched this movie around the holidays, probably because it reminds us of our relatives. The rich snobs (my dad's family), the clinically insane aunt (which I have five of), the gay brother (my brother)... I have a major soft spot for this film, and I still watch it every time Christmas comes around. "
