Product Description: BIG CHILL 15TH ANNIVERSARY COLLECTORS EDITION (DVD
Amazon.com essential video: Lawrence Kasdan's 1983 big-budget variation on John Sayles's The Return of the Secaucus Seven finds a cluster of old college radicals--who have since gone on to sundry professions and various degrees of materialism--reuniting over the death of a friend. Both playful and thoughtful, the film represents Kasdan (Body Heat) at his most astute. The attractive cast meshes perfectly into a group of characters for which a former closeness is out of synch with their current lives, yet their warmth is enviable and inviting. The script may be a bit too glib, with many one-liners, but it is still a perfectly designed story with telling irony and no little passion. --Tom Keogh

Man, this hasn't aged well at all
Saw this again for the first time since 1983. I'm struck by how dated it feels. The hairstyles on the women are very Reagan-80s, all blow dried. The men don't fare much better. It's now a period piece. This was so big when it came out, and acquired a certain cache after awhile. But the soundtrack, innovative in its day, is very tired now, compared with all the copycats that have followed. I recently visited Beaufort, S.C., where this was filmed. They are still dining on it there, almost 30 years ... Read More
