Aside from one horrible child-abuse scene, this is, finally, the first decent release of 1989 in January. While not all jokes landed, most did and it was cute and sometimes harmless. I'd give a recommendation, but be warned, Nick Nolte can be a complete ass at times. Oh, and also, damn I love movies taking place in Seattle, around Seattle and the Pacific Northwest. Gets a much bigger nod from me for that.
