Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe portion of this film's budget provided by United Artists was cut to US $2.5 million so that United Artists could properly finance the increasingly expensive financial demands of Michael Cimino's Heaven's Gate (1980).
- Quotes
Franny Philips: They can do anything they want to do, can't they? They can tell us anything, or not tell us anything, and we can't do anything, or say anything! We haven't got one single lousy human right!
- Alternate versionsThe original theatrical version was 101 minutes. The film was cut to 96 minutes for early 1980s television showings in order to make it more "family-friendly". The video version is the version cut for television. However, most of the profanity remains in the television and video versions.
Featured review
They know their IQ's are near genius. They know that the capital of Kansas is Wichita. They know where Mom hides `The Joy of Sex'. But they don't know why their parents have all split up.
This modern look at adolescence rings sad but true. The `Rich Kids' of the title are smart in all of the commonly accepted ways and they are smart enough to realize that there is more to love than what they can see in their parent's sad relationships. In many ways it's the kids in this film that are acting like adults. Perhaps that's the point. Perhaps the `Rich Kids' of the title are not the two adolescents at all, but the adults that are complicating their lives.
