A movie completely absorbed by a man completely absorbed by himself -- fringed with some so-what details about the dragging-down drug scene, the death of a parent, a broken love bond, and life at a New Yorker-ish magazine pseudonymously called Gotham. In the last-named arena, Jason Robards salvages a few minutes as a martini-swilling and garrulous old editor, one-time author of "satirical pieces" and friend of "Bill Faulkner" among others. With Michael J. Fox, Kiefer Sutherland, Frances Sternhagen, Swoosie Kurtz, and Phoebe Cates; adapted from his own novel by Jay McInerney; directed by James Bridges. (1988) — Duncan Shepherd
