City Slickers	comment	City Slickers is a 1991 Western Comedy film, directed by Ron Underwood and starring Billy Crystal, Daniel Stern, Bruno Kirby, Helen Slater, and Jack Palance.The film is about a group of New York City-based men experiencing a collective midlife crisis. Mitch Robbins (Crystal) is an advertising manager at the WBLM radio station who's increasingly disillusioned with the lack of meaning he sees in his job and his life. Phil Berquist (Stern) is stuck managing his father-in-law's grocery store, while trapped in a sexless marriage with his overbearing wife Arlene (Karla Tamburrelli). And Ed Furillo (Kirby) is a successful businessman and playboy, struggling with the idea of monogamous marriage and the pressure to have kids.At Mitch's 39th birthday party, Phil and Ed present their joint birthday present: a two-week Southwestern cattle drive for all three men. At the insistence of his wife Barbara (Patricia Wettig), Mitch accepts the gift, traveling with his friends to New Mexico, where they meet the other participants of the cattle drive and learn the ropes of moving the herd, guided by the grizzled, tough-as-nails boss of the whole operation, Curly Washburn (Palance).Jack Palance's performance as Curly won him the 1991 Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor and AFI ranked the film as #86 on its "100 Years...100 Laughs" list. Followed in 1994 by City Slickers II: The Legend of Curly's Gold, which was not as well-received as the original.

City Slickers / int_a7e47a11	comment	Your Approval Fills Me with Shame: Edâ€™s story about standing up to his abusive and adulterous father implies that his dad respected that he had the guts to stand up to him. However that left Ed with a decades long dread that he would turn out like his father and thus making it also his worst day.

City Slickers / int_af94cf6d	type	Hollywood Mid-Life Crisis
City Slickers / int_af94cf6d	comment	Hollywood Mid-Life Crisis: The film about three friends who are each going through their own respective mid-life crisis. Mitch is bored with his job and frightened by how quickly the years seem to be flying by. Phil's Sexless Marriage prompts him to have an affair with a younger coworker, resulting in a pregnancy scare, him losing his job and his wife leaving him. Ed is a successful businessman and womanizer who is frightened by the prospect of settling down and starting a family. The three friends go on a cattle drive vacation, during which they all begin to figure out their lives. Curly lampshades this when talking to Mitch, saying, "You all come up here at the same time", revealing that they're far from the first or only men in their age group to do this.
