Summer, 1984: 30 years after Duane captained the high school football team and Jacy was homecoming queen, this Texas town near Wichita Falls prepares for its centennial. Oil prices are down, banks are failing, and Duane's $12 million in debt. His wife Karla drinks too much, his children are always in trouble, and he tom-cats around with the wives of friends. Jacy's back in town, after a mildly successful acting career, life in Italy, and the death of her son. Folks assume Duane and Jacy will resume their high school romance. And Sonny is "tired in his mind," causing worries for his safety. Can these friends find equilibrium in middle age?

Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
This is purty near the worst movie of the whole year.
– Rita Kempley,
Washington Post,

fresh:
It is, in a sense, like a high school reunion, taking people we last saw in 1951 and continuing their histories in the early 1980s.

rotten:
comes off like an exceptionally slow episode of Dallas.

Miss Shepherd...is exceptionally good as Jacy.

It all looks good, though, and the actors - epecially Bridges and Potts - are clearly having a ball.
