Bright Lights, Big City
1988
*½
Director: James Bridges
Cast: Michael J. Fox, Kiefer Sutherland, Phoebe Cates, Swoosie Kurtz
This bleak look at the drug-fuelled yuppie lifestyle in 1980s New York offers 110 minutes of miserablism without a second of inspiration. Michael J. Fox seems lost for the entire duration of the film, or maybe he's on drugs for real. Based on Jay McInerney's novel.
