This isn't my favorite, but one memorable scene is where Buddy comes in beat up by the boyfriend and he says "We had sex." That must have been some sex!

although basicly a good film[ive always been partial to 'period piece coming of age comedy/dramas'].
but by and far my favorite scene is when actor 'daniel stern' as character 'marvin libner' goes and beats the ever loving crap out the character 'rick' played by actor 'ray lykins' in defence of 'marvins' younger brother 'buddy libner' played by the impishly wimpy actor 'arye gross'.
this scene alway makes me let out with an apprecitive rebel yell.

My favorite scene is when Buddy is throwing up at the Uncle's house. He asks whats wrong with him and they say girl toubles; Then the uncle replies "What did he do swallow one?"

Top all round movie but one fav scene is when Buddy gets carsick thinking it's the same car from when they're kids and Marvin tells him to "gulp in the air" and then Bobby asks if it's helping and then says "u know ur swallowing ur own throw up"

"You just haven't been laid"
*beep* How do you figure?"
"Because anyone who's been laid knows that women don't get a WANG ON!"

That whole scene where they're arguing about the lyrics to Louie Louie is gold.

"Its not a hump song, its not a dance song, its a sea shanty!"
"A sea shanty? You mean like 'Yodee Hodee Shiver Me Timbers?'"

By chance, my mom watched this and told me that she loved it; sure sounds like an excellent movie I'll have to see more of (only saw parts, unfortunately). Next stop -- video store.

one of my favourite scenes is when Marv is shaving the morning after beating up the guy and Bobby is cursing him, (because he doesnt know that marv beat him up), for not having the balls to go and beat the crap into him. Its Marvs laid back attitude as he calmly shaves away and looks in the mirror as Bobby keeps verbally abusing him thats hilarious as us the audience, and marv, knows that he has already done the guy in.

You almost feel what Marv is feeling (laughing like hell from the inside). Especially when the lady comes in says marv broke my husbands ribs and the look on Bobbys face.

The scene works far better than, for example, Marv turning to Bobby halfway through shaving and explaining that he has already beat the guy up. The fact Marv says nothing makes the scene extremly funny.

My favorite scene is when the youngest brother was shouting insults infront of his principle's house and when the principle approaches him, his oldest brother refuses to move his car.

Can some body shed some light on the meaning of the expression "wang on" in the following sentence?

"Because anyone who's been laid knows that women don't get a WANG ON!"

I tried to google it, but couldn't find anything relevant. Thanks

It's just a send up of the sort of stupid *beep* that virgin boys tell each other about female sexual reponse, e.g. those who've never been with a woman make authoritative statements about how women behave during sex which is obviously stupid to any man who actually has had sex with a woman. If you'd ever had sex with a woman you'd know that.

My favourite scene is where they arrive at the Uncle's house seeking help and he says "first, we've got to get you new identities" and they discuss whether the Uncle's tip for the racetrack is reliable.

I am sorry, I saw this movie years ago and loved it, loved it....What was the one thing that Daniel Stern told his Dad that he told his brothers at the end of the movie? THanks

[–] jenn-74 16 years ago

Hi VOSOT99,

Marvin told his dad (Fred) that he had told his brothers that Fred was dying. Fred replied, "I knew you would" and told him he did good.

That's one of my fave scenes.

I saw this when it came out and I have always remembered it by the scene when they argue over the lyrics to "Louie, Louie"; in turn making me think of this movie whenever I heard the song.

There are a ton of other classic scenes, but that one always stuck!

[–] redliner_4eva 14 years ago

I will never forget one word from this movie and how it was said....when the middle brother threw up in the car..and they switch to the night scene and you see the car from far, Bobby's like "see? see? I told you it was the olives..." and Marvin goes "SHAAADYYUUP!!" Saw this movie around 8 years ago and I've mimicked that throughout right up till today. ROFL

My favorite scene of course at the end of the movie, when the pop repeats Marvin saying about "we are all together to bring the car". The father replies something like, "I dont give a damn about the car. Its all about youre all together on the trip. Understand?"

I like these scenes:

1). The little brother’s reaction when the girl reveals that Marvin beat up Rick.

2). The scene where the father tells him to look at his younger brother, and he asks, “Do you know them?” And he says, “Yeah, I do.”
