Review of The Big Chill (1983) by Grant S — 13 May 2010
Ok, but not great. Script was rather basic, and contrived at times. I didn't find the characters and their relationships completely believable.
Acting was average. Kevin Kline, Glenn Close and Tom Berenger are solid in their roles. William Hurt, as always, overthinks his part. Jeff Goldblum gives his usual irritating look-at-me performance.
The entire movie ends up being saved, and made, by the soundtrack. The music is fantastic, really helps the feeling of nostalgia and keeps the movie from bogging down completely.
