Last night at work a song played over the "radio" and it was "You really got a hold on me" which sent me into a spiraling flash back of my childhood involving a movie I used to watch that made me go "BAAAAW D:" I have no idea what it was called and can only remember the plot.

The movie starts with four friends (all men) packing a huge van(/mobile home?) for one last road trip to California(?). One of them for sure did not want to do it and complains most of the way. Their trip takes them trough some scenarios one of them is a bar fight, another is a house party where they find out the friend that planned the whole trip is dying of AIDs(/Cancer?). They all buck up finally and get their dying friend to the beach where he dies in the hotel room. He had also been recording the whole trip on film and they find a tape and run to the nearest electronics store and play the tape. He says some sapping things then starts singing, "You really got a hold on me" which was something they used to do. The end.

Help! D:

My guess is: Breaking the Rules (1992) with Jason Bateman

"In the prologue to "Breaking the Rules," Neal Israel's tear-jerker about the reunion of three childhood pals, one of whom is dying of a rare leukemia, the film flashes back to 1982, when they were growing up in the suburbs of Cleveland. Phil, the daredevil prankster of the trio, has conceived an initiation in which he and his best friends, Gene and Rob, must take a spin in a Laundromat washing machine. Once they've completed the ritual, they dub themselves the Chosen Ones. Their theme song is a wobbly a cappella version of the Miracles' early-60's hit "You Really Got a Hold on Me."


In a movie as formulaic as "Breaking the Rules," it almost goes without saying that Phil (Jason Bateman), the trio's spark plug, is the one who is dying.
