Went to Coney Island on a Mission from God...Be Back by Five Movie Review 1998

Daniel (Cryer), Stan (Stear), and Richie (Baez) were all best neighborhood friends while growing up in Brooklyn. Now it's years later and Stan and Daniel have lost touch with Richie, whom they hear is a mentally ill vagrant living under the boardwalk at Coney Island. So they decide to ditch their boring lives and track him down. Flashbacks to earlier incidents get confusing if not tedious.
