7/10
A pleasant feel-good film
4 July 2004
Okay, giving this film a 7/10 might be being overly generous. The writing is substandard, the acting is over the edge, and the plot is .. well, there really isn't any plot to speak of.

But still, I enjoyed this film immensely. Bess Armstrong is a babe(!) and Tom Selleck is his usual wonderful self. Selleck typically acts like Selleck (much like John Wayne always acted like John Wayne and Cary Grant always acted like Cary Grant). But the fact is, I happen to like how Selleck acts. He always has the slightly-evil smirk that makes you stand back just a bit.

Bess Armstrong is the only one that keeps the film from dying on its feet. She was a rising star when she did this movie and it always amazed me that she didn't do better afterwards. Bad manager I suppose.

Anyway, the movie has its moments and if you don't mind the obvious high-school-like plot and bad costumes, you'll enjoy it also!
