So after watching The Big Chill last night, I'm gathering that times were different back in 1983.
If you haven't seen it - 8 or so college friends are reunited for a weekend following a suicide of one of their friends. They're all staying at the house of Sarah (Glenn Close) & Harold (Kevin Kline).
The one thing that stood out was Meg (Mary Kay Place) telling Sarah (Glenn Close) that she's been dating for 20 years & hears her biological clock ticking and decides that she'll convince one of the guys to be her baby daddy. The first two say no (sad for Meg) and the one remaining single guy (Jeff Goldblum) is all about it, but Meg isn't having any part of it.
Feeling chummy and awstruck by Meg's tender nature, Sarah decides she wants her hubby & baby daddy to sleep with Meg to give her a baby. Ummm. Really?? And so it happens. And everyone is smiling and glowing afterwards. Seriously??
Wacky. Wacky. Wacky.

Ugh! I agree! I had to watch that movie in high school as part of a film unit (odd choice), and I remember thinking that was the whackest idea ever!!
Can you even imagine??? I love that Meg tells Harold she feels like she "got a great deal on a used car." Umm...yes! Shouldn't that tell you something??
