...Book publishing was done at home, as well as graphic design, data analysis, all forms of consulting and repair services. The necessity of intermediaries was further removed in such areas as shopping, banking and real estate. Independent rock-'n'-roll record producers competed from their home offices with big-label corporations. People were encouraged to distance themselves from other people; the First National Bank in Chicago charged customers $3 for using a human teller rather than an automated one.

Neither Crowe nor his actors appear to be working hard for hilarity, high romantic tension or a melodramatic denouement. They make no attempt to either glamorize or deglamorize athletes and their hangers-on. There is a recognizable ordinariness about the way these people stumble in and out of trouble, in and out of grace--an ambiguous note, at once tart and sweet, knowing and innocent...
