Viewing Notes

thought I saw this during college but perhaps not since it opened at the end of May and I was off to West Virginia. Regardless this has a stacked cast for its time.

Fun movie but needed more Carrie Fisher. I wish we got this Carrie in more films. She’s so good and such a spark. The story is mostly Sally Fields and Kevin Kline who are both really good here. I didn’t recall any of the narrative so I’m guessing I’m just familiar with the movie since it was in regular cable rotation back in the day.
