Four Friends Summary
MPAA Rating: R
Director: Arthur Penn
Genres: Comedy Drama, Romance
Rating:
Also known as Moritorium and Georgia's Friends, Four Friends follows the titular quartet from high school to young adulthood. The film is set during the tumultuous 1960s, an era when everyone's values were turned inside out, shaken around, and reassembled. The central character is first-generation American Craig_Wasson, who confounds his Yugoslavian father (Miklos_Simon) by pursuing his own let-it-all-hang-out lifestyle. Wasson's best friends are athlete Jim_Metzler and chubby Michael_Huddleston; all pursue the affections of bewitching Jodi Thelan. Though they are obviously deeply in love with one another, Wasson and Thelan continue to foolishly avoid a long-term commitment as the sixties unfold around them. Four Friends calls for a fresher approach than the one offered by director Arthur_Penn, whose handling of the material is much too pat and old-fashioned. Hal Erickson, Rovi
