Danny (Emmy-nominee Rob Lowe) and Debbie (Oscar-nominee Demi Moore) are two young Chicagoans who meet at their favorite bar, start to date, move in together....and eventually fall in love. And they each have two best friends (Elizabeth Perkins, Jim Belushi) who have conflicting feelings about each of their new partners which sometimes complicates things. That's pretty much the entire story but what made this romantic comedy so special forty years ago when it was first released was the writing, the performances, the '80's Chicago setting, and even the songs. Co-written and directed by Edward Zwick (Glory, Love and Other Drugs, Blood Diamond, The Last Samurai), let's review what would end being one of THE prototypical rom-com's of its era.
