A Night in the Life of Jimmy Reardon

Jimmy is on the verge of an exciting transformation in his life, all set to unfold in just one night. It's the night before his high school graduation, marking the start of a remarkable new chapter. For Jimmy Reardon, this moment represents a fresh beginning.

His girlfriend, Lisa, is embarking on a wonderful adventure to Hawaii. His friends are heading to prestigious Ivy League schools. Jimmy's father envisions him attending a structured, all-male business school, but Jimmy has his own inspiring goals. Within the next 24 hours, Jimmy is ready to embrace change in his relationships and his path forward.

River Phoenix, known for his captivating role in Stand By Me, shines as the spirited Jimmy Reardon in this lively comedy.

Celebrate the late, beloved River Phoenix's first leading role in A Night in the Life of Jimmy Reardon, a unique teen comedy from the 1980s. Jimmy (Phoenix) is a talented young man from a humble background whose parents have enrolled him in an elite school, where he mingles with peers accustomed to privilege. Jimmy confidently connects with many girls, including Denise (played by Ione Skye, recognized for Say Anything and Gas Food Lodging), who is the girlfriend of his close friend Fred (a young Matthew Perry, who later achieved great success on the TV show Friends). Despite his own girlfriend Lisa (Meredith Salenger) preparing for her exciting move to Hawaii, Jimmy embraces new social experiences with charm and enthusiasm.

The graduation evening unfolds as a vivid moment of growth, marked by memorable and meaningful changes in Jimmy's relationships and personal journey, including an adventurous incident involving his dad's car. A Night in the Life of Jimmy Reardon draws inspiration from the novel written by screenwriter-director William Richert at the age of 19, infusing the film with genuine expressions of youth. Its heartfelt poetry and expressive moments capture the dynamic energy of adolescence, celebrating the exciting realizations that dreams can evolve and challenges can lead to new opportunities.

Phoenix delivers a genuinely magnetic performance, his youthful energy perfectly complementing the character's spirited nature. While the movie's tone may differ from classic tales like The Catcher in the Rye, it courageously explores the vibrant and transformative experiences of growing up.

WHAT YOU GET:

This item is for the original media, and includes only the media (ie. CD, floppy ...) UNLESS specifically stated above and/or in the title. If more than just the media is included, it will state which items are (ie. box, manual, etc ). Items that come in a sleeve refer to a generic CD sleeve (typically white) and will be sent with shipping protection to avoid damage during transit. If available, we will also send the front and/or back CD inserts if in stock. If these are important to you, please message us to verify we have them available to send. Please do not assume items are included other than what's stated. Again, ask questions PRIOR to purchasing if you have any concerns.

IMAGES:

All images/pictures are stock photos and are for reference only, mainly to show the type of game you will be getting. Please read "WHAT YOU GET" for what is included with the media. Screenshots may vary based on your own computer system, video card, monitor, etc.

COMPATIBILITY:

Computers are like people, each one is different. Unlike console games, a computer game may install and work flawlessly on one system but may need adjustments on another. This is due to a variety of factors, mainly the OS platform running, video card you have, drivers, protection software installed, etc. Many times manufacturers release updates to games to fix bugs and add enhancements. We would be happy to help get the game going on your computer, but ultimately compatibility issues are the responsibility of the buyer. We suggest going to Google and searching for the name of the game along with the words "system requirements" to determine if your system is suitable. Ultimately, we are not responsible for software compatibility problems or publisher's errors.

PLATFORM:

Stated within the auction is what platform the game will work on (ie. Windows, Mac, Linux...) This is a generic statement and specific platform versions (ie. XP, Vista...) will have to be researched by the buyer. Games that came out PRIOR to XP or higher will not specifically state they will work on that release, but only because they came out before those versions were made. Many, if not most, will work on XP or higher with a few quick adjustments. We provide instructions with all items purchased on how to do this adjustment using the Program Compatibility Wizard. If we find out that an item will definately not work on a specific version, we will state it. For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program if the Program Compatibility Wizard does not work.

64-Bit Windows OS Systems:
For 64-bit Operating Systems, older games most likely will NOT work due to 64-bit systems not being able to run 16-bit programming code (most games prior to 2000). For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program.

Macintosh Systems:
For Macintosh programs, most older games will need to be run in Classic Environment if you have a MAC OS X 10.0 - 10.4 version. Please research Google on how to do this, or send us a message for information prior to purchasing. If your MAC OS system doesn't support Classic Environment (ie. MAC OS X 10.5 or Higher OR Intel Macs), you will have to try running it using the free program called SheepShaver, but compatibility is not ensured. Please research prior to purchasing or ask questions.

MEDIA FORMAT:

Please verify you have the required hardware in order to use the specified media (ie. CD, DVD, floppy drives, etc.) If the item comes as a floppy disc, make sure you have either the needed 3.5" floppy drive or the bigger and older 5.25" floppy drive.

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR A SMOOTH PURCHASE:

  • Ask questions PRIOR to purchasing an order to avoid any confusion.
  • Be patient if there are problems during installation or gameplay. Typically someone else has already ran into that problem and has listed a solution online. Contact us and we will do our best to help.
  • Be sure to update your video card drivers and search for updates to the game from the manufacturer.


  • SHIPPING:

    We typically ship all items out within 1-2 business days after payment is received. In regards to the stated shipping and handling, remember that these costs include more than just postage.

    International buyers please email/chat with us to determine if you are eligible for shipping of a specific product. If you are, then international buyers not shipping to an address within the U.S. can expect their orders to take anywhere from 5 days to 4 weeks to be received, depending on how fast/well USPS is moving. Additionally, international orders typically have to go through governmental customs, which can delay the arrival process. Import duties, taxes, and charges are not included in the item price or shipping cost. These charges are the buyer's responsibility. Please check with your country's customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to buying. Customs fees are normally charged by the shipping company or collected when you pick the item up. These fees are not additional shipping charges.
