I agree that it wasn't the best movie i've ever seen but it's totally sentimental to me so I had to buy and watch it. One of the characters "Don Billingsley" is a very good friend of mine. We went to school together for many many years in the small town I grew up in until he went to live with his dad in Texas. It was pretty emotional for me because I had no idea he went into such a shitty relationship environment with his dad. His mom is a great lady and he had a nice home. Incidentally, he went on to play at East Central University until he completely burned out when his best friend overdosed and died. After that point he cleaned himself up and got his life on track. I talked to him right after the book came out and he minimized his role in it so I never bothered buying it. I was pretty surprised to find out that he was one of the main characters in it though. They pretty much nailed his cockiness. He was always the one to have all the chicks swarming and swooning at his knees.
