Viewing Notes

I started this one back in April sometime and didn’t finish it because Netflix removed it from streaming. When it came back, I took the chance and watched the last 8 minutes. It’s the Patrick Dempsey era I prefer and not that of Dr. McDreamy-Steamy, back when he was a schlocky teen.

The movie isn’t particularly memorable, but it clips along at a nice pace and always with a comedic lilt, all run through with a great swing soundtrack.
