This 1990s TV movie was recommended on one of the movie threads. I watched it last night and found it interesting.

Imagine a Great-Valu version of "Ordinary People," down to Bibi Besch doing her best Beth Jarrett. In this case, there's no dead son but three young adult children, all of whom are disappointing their suburban parents in their own way. The youngest son is gay and engaged to a woman (Lori Laughlin, who's actually one of the best things in the movie). A very young Jim Carrey plays a dramatic role, the screwup older son who's a problem drinker. He's also excellent.

Plus a ton of 1990s "fashion."

The copy on YouTube is very good. Has anyone else seen this?

I wouldn't even know what that looks like.

Janice Lynde was brilliant in this, as the sister in law.

William McNamara was easy on the eyes.

Yes watched it a couple of times OP.

Interesting to see a very young Jim Carrey in it.

Buck never would have told us he sucked cock. (I was never quite certain about Conrad.)

I really enjoyed this film and I thought the subject matter of a dysfunctional family being forced to confront their imperfection was handled well. Jim Carrey was a standout.
