An Indiana teen (Dennis Christopher) and his friends (Dennis Quaid, Daniel Stern, Jackie Earle Haley) lack direction after high school graduation... job, college or just hanging out at the swimming hole? Then Dave becomes obsessed with cycling and things Italian.

Barbara Barrie and Paul Dooley are doubly wonderful, as Dave's befuddled parents who sense their bambino may have slipped a gear. This endearing winner scored a Golden Globe Award as Best Comedy. Rarely has coming-of-age been as fresh or as funny.
