I discovered this film about a year after it came out. Fun, lighthearted rom-com. I think the title may have kept it from being a bigger hit as it does not give a clue as to what the film is. Jobeth Williams was fresh off "Poltergeist" and "The Big Chill" and is pretty in a natural way. Tom Conti is so funny. Pay attention and watch all the way to the end.
Make a big bowl of popcorn and snuggle up with your sweetie and enjoy it.
We saw this at the majestic Warner Grand Theatre in downtown San Pedro. I was only six, but I was blown away!
As soon as videos came out, this was the first time we bought. My little brother and I would watch it New Year's Eve. Good fun. None of the remakes or re-dos can match the original.
Make big bowl of popcorn and snuggle up with the kids and have a fun evening.
P.S. Gene Hackman did this right after his Oscar win for "The French Connection." He stated that he did it strictly for the money and has never seen it.
Great riff on the 80's slasher movies. Very smart and well written. Is it "Schindler's List" ? No, but if you were in college in the 80's, get together with some of your friends, make a big bowl of popcorn and settle in for some fun!!
This is an absolute gem with something for everyone. Sweet, funny, sad and scary. Make a big batch of popcorn, gather up the kids and settle in for an evening of pure magic.
