First things first, I do not think it is Francis Ford-Coppola's best film, but it is not his worst either. Peggy Sue Got Married is a flawed but very likable film, that I feel doesn't deserve the back lash it gets. There may be some weak spots in the script, Coppola occasionally overdoes it with his direction and the pace sags in the middle. But what makes the film watchable is the lovely cinematography, memorable soundtrack, engaging story, a nice mix between the funny and sympathetic and the acting. I know that Nicolas Cage's performance has been slated here, but actually, I didn't think he was that bad. Irritating at first, but I think that is more the fault of his character, but he is quite likable at the end. Jim Carrey also appeals in an early role. But it is Kathaleen Turner's movie. Enigmatic, charming, beautiful and funny, she is wonderful in the lead. All in all, far from a masterpiece but it doesn't deserve burying. 7/10 Bethany Cox
