Movie Haiku: Lovely little film set at the end of the Bicentennial (1976) as the Ford Administration gave way to Jimmy Carter. Four buddies now in their 30s struggle to get serious about their diminished prospects as a large corporation threatens their livelihood. Nothing new here, just very well-done, affectionate, & thought-provoking.
