An understated John Hughes beauty!!!
13 August 2006
A lot of people don't realize how great this movie is. Now obviously, I'm not considering this as being a cinematic masterpiece. The acting isn't always on point and at times it seems too serious and out of place in a few places. But this movie effectively tackles issues with the kind of wit, comedy, and grace that comes from a John Hughes movie. Jennifer Connelly's character is truly a piece of work. A 'town tease' with a heart of gold and as wise as an owl. And Frank Whaley's unforgettable character leaves you giggling and feeling for his loser-like qualities. Truly this movie won't exactly move you, but it may leave you with a microscopic sense of warmth.
