1/10
Unmotivated Cilches
1 December 2005
This is the first 1 I've ever given a movie at the IMDb. There are some true dogs in the wide world of cinema, and this one is king of the scrap heap.

Unmoving setting, snore-worthy climax, angry married people sleeping around, choreographer Patrick Swayze sporting his usual Labrador retriever look; a sad-eyed Jamie Lee Curtis (believably, must say) reprises another unconventional woman with father issues; a couple of a-romantic love affairs with a heavy scene of pseudo BDSM, and people doing it in moving (!?) cars; and a ceaseless string of unfunny clichés about post-adolescence in the mid-80s, complete with silly spoofs on MTV (back when MTV actually played music videos.)

Avoid. But if you do indulge, look for the bad cameos of Michael Winslow as Spencer, Grandview's most visible Black man. Let's just say, Winslow made his mark as the um, "vocal talent", in the Police Academy series, wildly popular in the mid-late 80s.

1 deep regret out of 10, but don't take my word for it; Jamie Lee reportedly said so, herself. A screening will leave you with no doubts as to why.
