A twenty-five year old New Jersey man who lives with his parents and can't commit to his longtime girlfriend begins to wonder if he's missing out on something more in life after meeting a bored but beautiful SoHo club hopper and hobnobbing in the Hamptons with a group of jaded sophisticates. Jack (Steve Parlavecchio) works in a New Jersey nursing home. He's always maintained a positive attitude, but lately he's beginning to wonder whether his life has come to a stand still. Despite the fact that Jack and his girlfriend Susan (Stacy Mistysyn) have been dating for seven years now, Jack can't seem to muster the motivation to ask for her hand in marriage. On evening, during a rare outing to a SoHo nightclub, Jack makes the acquaintance of beautiful model Samantha (Jill Wolfe). The encounter leaves Jack wondering if he's settling for something less than he truly deserves, and in the following weeks he begins shunting Susan aside in favor of spending more time with Sam. The entire time, Jack seems entirely oblivious to the fact that the movers and shakers who comprise the Hamptons elite seem just as bored with their lives as he once was with his. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

A group of hard-working, young North Carolinians amuse themselves in the evenings by forming a band. This ensemble comedy chronicles their experiences. Tony Ridge is the singer/songwriter. Though talented, he is so introverted that he can only play his music in a closet. After he loses his day job, his out-going friend Charlie Flagg suggests he try to become a professional musician. Tony decides to give it a go, but first they need a band. They choose stoner guitarist Wynn Knapp, who despite his perpetual drug-inspired haze is really good, and then the volatile Eric Ellwood as their bassist. Ellwood is extremely eager to get the money rolling in as he is deeply in debt to a big, mean loan shark. Unfortunately, the shark has Ellwood's bass. The four then stage a break-in and get it back. After practice, their band Circus Monkey is finally ready to perform. At least they think so and go to play at a frat party. Unfortunately they bomb because their music isn't hard enough for the rowdy, drunken kids. Undaunted, they continue on and eventually score themselves a manager with Linus Tate, a sage but quiet man. Together they set out across the South in hope of launching their careers, playing at any club that will have them. ~ Sandra Brennan, All Movie Guide

Director Robert K. Weiss gives a good accounting of himself in his first feature-length effort Amongst Friends. The film is set in an affluent Long Island neighborhood, the home of boyhood chums Patrick McGaw, Steve Parlavecchio, and Joseph Lindsey. With too much time on their hands, the kids turn to crime for "kicks". Events snowball into a climactic life-or-death drug deal, which threatens to end in disaster when one of the boys capriciously pulls a double cross. Barely released in 1993, Amongst Friends will probably get more play in future years thanks to the presence in the cast of Oscar-winner Mira Sorvino. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
