Tired, cliche-ridden brat pack script in which homosexuals are less than human.

CGiii Comment
The brat pack being brats.
The suspicion that one of them is gay is not strong enough to keep you from reaching for the fast forward button.
The inevitable drug addiction, the predictable promiscuity...it's a soap opera - with rich, detestable kids - the problem is that they are not really acting - vomit-inducing.

The(ir) Blurb...
Seven friends have just finished university and are starting out in their careers. They are having to come to terms with careers, having to be more responsible, to fend for themselves and with all the decisions and issues life throws at them. Some are coping better than others and some aren't coping at all.
