Nice to see the great Piper Laurie and the gorgeous Jason Patric way back when. Not happy when the dad said that it doesn’t matter why Gary took drugs. Of course it matters; that’s how you find a way out. Find out why you got in. Deal with the actual problem, not just the manifestation of it.
i can’t believe this was Jason Patric’s first movie, he plays the role of troubled teen so well. he was so talented for his age and still is
