great movie about friendship, love and loss-a must see.

Growing up, I saw this movie numerous times. It's tough to watch when your a kid, in spite of the funnyness of some of the scenes, it is a pretty heavy movie. It's also a wonderful movie about freindship, love and loss. I'd recomend Big Chill to anyone who hasn't seen it. It is the type of movie that you just don't see anymore and the characters and situations are touching, bittersweet, and quite true to life.

Anyone who likes movies about real people and friendships that can withstand just about anything will love this movie. It's filled with everything that life is-highs, lows and all that's in between. a must see-10 of 10.
