10/10
Hilarious, imaginative, and inspired comedy.
20 June 2000
Another of my perfect comedies. It is brilliant from beginning to end, not to mention hilarious. And the things you learn reading these reviews -- I had no idea that Sandy was Laurie Metcalf, so I am going to watch it when I get home from work just because I am a Laurie Metcalf fan and can't believe I didn't recognize her. Ann Magnuson is absolutely unforgettable and I am really sorry her career didn't take off like a rocket after this movie. I won't go into detail because so many of the other reviews do, but I watch this at least once a year and it never fails to grab me. One of the most enjoyable movies ever made, with top-notch production values, beautiful and great photography, magnificent direction, and an outstanding and perfect cast. There may be one plot-specific and perfectly apt F word and only plot-specific and non-graphic nudity, which may account for it's relative lack of popularity. Why can't there be more movies like this?
