Big Quote by Lawrence Kasdan

“But, I think that the reason I responded to this book, sort of paradoxically, is that it starts out like The Big Chill, sort of. Four friends, who are not quite happy with their life, and every year they get together for a week and look for some comfort from each other.” quote by Lawrence Kasdan
