Five Man Band is being dewicked

* FiveManBand: The film centers on five young men (though only four of them play a large part, as one is unconscious throughout most of the film thanks to the bender they went on prior to their road trip). Aside from Lester, the unconscious one, the main characters fit decently into the FiveManBand mold; Gardner as TheHero, Kenneth as TheLancer, Phil as TheSmartGuy, and Dorman as TheBigGuy.

!!This work contains examples of:
*BittersweetEnding: It's hard to say where any of the Groovers will end up in the future, but they all grow as people and come to terms with some struggle they've been having during the trip (aside perhaps from Lester, who was passed out for most of the film).
*ComingOfAgeStory

*TheFriendNobodyLikes: Phil, to an extent. After the others have had enough of him complaining and berating them, Gardner tells him that they only hang out with him because they feel sorry for him (though they make up later).
*TheReveal: Gardner's ex-girlfriend and the girl that he has been fantasizing about and trying to forget throughout the trip is [[spoiler:Debbie, Kenneth's fiancée]].
*TitleDrop: Near the end, when Gardner tells the band at [[spoiler:Kenneth's wedding]] to play the fandango, a popular dance from Spain, [[spoiler:which he shares with Debbie, as it is implied this was something special to them when they were a couple]].
*UsefulNotes/TheVietnamWar: Takes place as the war is ongoing. Kenneth and Gardner have both been drafted, and Kenneth's main personal trial during the film is grappling with whether or not he should go through with his engagement knowing that he will be shipping out.
