A Pleasant Tale of Friendship
28 July 2023
In 1954, the photographer GI Sonny Burns (Jeremy Davies) and the soldier Gunner Casselman (Ben Affleck) meet each other in a train to Indianapolis after serving in the Korea War. Gunner is a popular athlete, but befriends the shy Sonny and soon they become best friends. Sonny has an overprotective mother, Alma Burns (Jill Clayburgh) that dominates also his father Elwood Burns (John Lordan), and a sweetheart, Buddy Porter (Amy Locane), while Gunner has a sexy mother, Nina Casselman (Lesley Ann Warren), and dates the hot Deedee (Wendy Carter). Sonny starts to teach photography to Gunner, but when they meet the Arts student Marty Pilcher (Rachel Weisz) in a museum, Gunner falls for her. But she lives and study in New York.

"Going All the Way" (1997) is a pleasant tale of friendship of two different young men. Gunner is popular and handsome, and Sonny is shy and dominated by his mother. Gunner dates a hot girl, Deedee, and Sonny dates his long-time girlfriend Buddy, who is beautiful but intends to marry him. When they become best friends, Sonny intends to change his life to follow his friend and meet new girls. In the end this is a nice romance. The female cast is composed of very beautiful and talented actresses. My vote is seven.

Title (Brazil): "Indo até o Fim" ("Going Until the End")
