Good watch, could watch again, and can recommend. This is a top notch cast, in 1998 and in 2021. There is quality execution and a good concept. I feel it's a little unrelatable as it feels like an ivy league problem, but the core of rich vs middle class is still there. I actually miss movi ... es like this. Even if it is only a good movie, and not a great movie, it will always been good because the basic principles are there.
