A
group of buddies hangs out in their neighborhood diner,
whiling away the time joshing, bragging, and whining.
But beneath the jokes runs a current of fear and
disappointment over adulthood.
The
uniting factor for this group is their fear of growing
up. They spend hour after hour in the local greasy-spoon
diner, joking, boasting, bragging, and ultimately
escaping reality. Ladies' man Boogie (Mickey Rourke), a
hairdresser by day and law student by night, is also in
over his head with the local bookie. Momma's boy Eddie
(Steve Guttenberg) is about to get married--but only if
his fiancée passes a football trivia test. Shrevie
(Daniel Stern) is married to Beth (Ellen Barkin) but is
more comfortable hanging out with his friends and
organizing his record collection. Graduate student Billy
(Timothy Daly) is trying to sort out his own love life.
And Fenwick (Kevin Bacon) is a poor little rich boy with
a warped sense of humor and no direction. Paul Reiser
rounds out the group as the nagging but funny Modell.
Filmed in Baltimore, Maryland.
DINER is number 57 on the American Film Institute's list
of America's 100 Funniest Movies.
Michael Tucker appears as Bagel in DINER and reprises
the role in Levinson's film TIN MEN.
Paul Reiser and Timothy Daly made their film debuts in
DINER, which also marked Ellen Barkin's first credited
appearance in a motion picture.
Baltimore Colts assistant general manager Ernie Accorsi
was asked to come up with 20 questions that would be
part of the prewedding football test. (The test
supposedly consisted of 100 questions in the film, but
only 20 were actually written down. Accorsi claimed they
were so difficult that even the most dedicated Colts
fans would never be able to pass.) He never received a
film credit for the work. In 2001, Accorsi was the
general manager of the New York Giants, who lost to the
Baltimore Ravens in Super Bowl XXXV. The Baltimore
Ravens were owned by Art Modell; Paul Reiser plays a
character named Modell in DINER, which was filmed in
Baltimore.
The scene with Boogie in the movie theater with the
popcorn is a cinema classic!!
