Synopsis: In 1981, a man in extreme financial paucity needs to support a child on his own while simultaneously attending an internship for a stockbroker job.
Appraisal: Captain America lies on the street, and a kid just can't go back to fetch it. The bottom line being, of course, it's neither what your country can do for you nor what you can do for your country; the morals these days are more on the lines of Each Man for Himself and the State Against All. For us, viewers, pain is kept comfortably on-screen, and we can enjoy some irresistible comic moments, e.g. Chris riding the subway with his hand stuck on the door, holding his precious merchandise on the outside. The poor hippies are pursued high and low, because they are in the way of Chris's happiness - one of them wants to sell Chris's bone density scanner. The other one is more realistic: he wants to travel back to the sixties, very far away from Reaganomics.
