Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaJohn Cusack took over 600 hours of skiing lessons in preparation for this movie. The 600 hours is equivalent to fifteen 40 hour weeks.
- GoofsWhen James Spader lifts the case of champagne bottles at the end of the film, it is obvious that the case has little to no weight in it, meaning the prop bottles are empty.

Featured review
Obvious but worth a look
"True Colors" tells of two male law school student who are best friends with contrasting integrity which leads to conflict. Spader plays straight man to Cusack's fast-track-to-success character who uses manipulation and ruthlessness on his way to a congressional seat. This yuppie-flavored flick is obvious in the way it presents it's "Ethics 101" plot but the story moves quickly and is sufficiently interesting to make it worth a look. An okay diversion for channel surfers interested in a film about two men from opposite sides of the tracks with enduring friendship fraught with conflict and moral issues.
