This movie is a now forgotten gem. It was one of my favorite ol' comedy/drama movies to watch on the VHS. It's weird but movies like this gave me a great deal of insight into adult life when I was a kid. One of the things I miss about living near my old friends are these chats both playful and serious, intimate ones. The last story perfectly sums up how one can have such a huge pull between two emotions over the same memory.

[@BlackAngus555]

Best day was when I had just turned 23 years old and my boss Michael Smith had a surprise for me, considering the fact that he knew what a huge wrestling fan I was and still am to this day. We both worked for Zaxbys, he was the owner and I was one of his best workers and he saw how hard I had been working for 3 years up till this point, so the wrestling events we were catering for, he went out and bought me a replica championship belt, he worked it out with the promoter so I could receive it in the ring at the event we were catering, my Mom, brothers, Grandmother and my closest aunt who I consider a sister were there. I felt like a king, and he had the biggest grin on his face when he saw how much fun I was having, but also he met everyone of my family members and my family got to see why Michael Smith meant so much to me. That was my best day.

I had forgotten how good this movie was and now I can see that a lot of it centered on how amazing a script it was!

[@jhgfdsertuiokjhg]

I grew up with this movie and did not realize the depth of the Ed character. He says here that his best and worst day is the same day because with the same action he is proclaiming he will protect his mother and sister but he is also saying goodbye to his father. No matter how bad fathers are, it is difficult to exile them from your life, any relative for that matter. Also, Ed is a self admitted womanizer who dates younger women. Though he feels the next move in his life is to start a family, he is deathly afraid of becoming his father.

[@hariman7727]

I can sympathize with that. A good father is priceless. A bad father makes you pay the price for everything he gets wrong in raising you. And the only way to progress is to leave that behind and break the cycle of abuse.

Both my grandfather and grandmother chose not to include me in their lives as a provider, as my uncle had expressed his desire to take care of them. However, over the course of a few years, my grandparents faced financial debt and endured mistreatment due to my uncle's actions. The day they turned their backs on me was undeniably one of my most painful experiences. Yet, it was also the day I realized that their love for me was absent all along. Cutting ties with them became the turning point of my life, making it both the worst and the best day. This scene always gets me every time.

[@ryanmccullion7367]

Underrated scene. Well written, great acting.

[@adamzanzie]

Great performances by all three actors in this scene, but Bruno Kirby's performance is particularly stirring. What's sad is that he and Billy Crystal allegedly had a falling out after this movie, hence why Kirby wasn't in the sequel. I guess Kirby got sick of Crystal both acting alongside him and bossing him around (Crystal was also the movie's producer).

[@randombrokeperson]

Was Billy rude? I feel like he's very snooty/stuck up and bossy or judgemental going off some mannerisms and interviews.

[@nickwride2023]

Bruno Kirby was allergic to horses and had to take shots every day of filming. He decided it wouldn't be worth the effort to do the sequel.

[@adamzanzie]

Nick Wride That may be part of it, but Crystal got a little defensive about it when a critic asked him about it in a 2001 interview. And when Kirby died, Crystal didn’t have much to say, other than to call it “a terrible loss”.

[@AJR-zg2py]

Kirby was also very allergic to horses and needed shots every day to get through filming - but another reason is that he wanted to be paid as much as Billy. When you look at overall screen-time, I can see the argument - I don't see one lead actor with two supporting actors... I see three leads who all pretty close in overall screen-time.

[@algorithmsavior3820]

​@@AJR-zg2py which sucks, bc these 3 bounces their energies right off each other so well. I know Crystal/Kirby through "When Harry Met Sally" (which I think came before this?) and you would think that this was a sequel to that how much they seemed like friends - it felt organic, natural.

[@PrideDefiler]

Young Clemenza!

[@zanethomas6865]

What Mitch and Phil don't understand, probably because their parents stayed married, is that Ed was just glad it was all over finally. All his father's cheating and sneaking around was over and how it hurt the family and without their father, they could finally heal. At the same time, it meant the end of his youthful innocence. Ed would never be the same again after this. He had to grow up faster than Phil and Mitch and he hated that. Also, Mitch and Phil both mention how their best days involved their fathers in a loving way, it also shows how hard it must've been for him growing up around his two best friends who had great fathers. It's a bittersweet day for Ed. It's the same as when a loved one is dying of a terminal illness and they finally go, you're glad they're not in pain anymore because seeing them suffer was the worst, but it's also sad because they're no longer there and you have to move on never the same again. It's the same with a bad marriage or relationship. You're no longer in the relationship which is better for you but youi feel you wasted all that time and what could've been.

[@rcnelson]

The whole movie was this good. And this is also how men talk with men. A very good, astute show.

[@gregmead2967]

I was just thinking that one part of this scene that no one has commented on is when Bruno Kirby's character says, "I don't feel like it." And they drop it, they don't push. That's what friends do. And because of that, "Ed" opens up, and they find out something important about him.

[@Rockhound6165]

The Ed Furillo character is an interesting character. Ed's a good and decent man albeit a bit immature. But he's afraid to turn into his father which is why he's hesitant to have kids. But whether or not he wants to admit it, he's a womanizer like his father(hence Mitch's "twins on a trapeze" comment). He even says as much later in the movie when he says, "I don't want to cheat on Kim" and gets pissed off when Phil simply tells him not to. But the decision to not cheat should have been an easy one since he remembers how his father's infidelity hurt his family but he struggles with it but in the end, like Mitch's experience on this cattle drive, he had an epiphany and grew up and made the decision to be a man. Which is what this movie is all about. We're all flawed, the "one thing" is how we handle our flaws and still be a good person. Curly was one of the wisest people to ever be in a movie.

[@hariman7727]

Jack Palance really showed his range in this movie.

[@Corellian]

Bruno Kirby just couldn't miss in his day, between '87 and '91 he did Good Morning, Vietnam, When Harry met Sally and City Slickers, delivering solid comedic and dramatic performances. This scene is just beautifully done, his character is essentially explaining why he is a bit lost in life. He womanizes and either can't or won't settle down and let himself fall in love, and here he tells them that he lost his father by chasing him away, and now he can't trust anyone and hasn't had the experience of being in a stable family. These moments are what make good movies.

Dad asks if I want some breakfast and I say yes. He pulls up to a Jack In The Box and when we get out, he tells me I can get whatever I want. Mom wasn't there to nag us about eating healthy, so like the tomboy/Daddy's girl that I was, I ask for a Bacon Ultimate Cheeseburger with no mayo, large fries, large Coke. Dad doesn't even blick.
