This movie is fun. Fun in the late 90s sense where you can have a ridiculous concept and go with it. It's the same type of humor as "The Wedding Singer" and the same buoyant energy. Thanks to a really committed Christopher Walken and Sissy Spacek as doting parents of a different era.
I love this movie for its non-cynical approach to making a movie. Hugh Wilson relies heavily on the two leads chemistry AND good-nature to carry us through. And I enjoyed the cultural evolution, or in this case de-evolution of humanity. A kind way to say we've lost our manners and civility.
What would you take from this movie? Absolutely nothing. Maybe that you should be kinder to people. And that manners count. And that, when put into a vacuum and later exhumed from a different generation, we'd see how much we'd degenerated in our treatment of each other.
To me, it's just fun. I think it defines the late 1990 era romantic comedy movies.
