Kirstie Alley is a delight!
18 July 2023
Kirstie Alley was a great comedic actress. (Outside of her controversial off camera image.). She was very natural on the screen. She is dearly missed.

Kirstie plays a very naive house wife (Marjorie). She's married to a v self absorbed doctor (Scott Bakula) who is completely controlled by his family - parents and sister (Carrie Fisher).

Kirstie (Marjorie) is repressed and unhappy. She has a v open minded, free spirited sister, Jami Gertz.

One day Kirstie meets a v distinguished gentleman (Sam Elliott) at the grocery store and they hit it off. Kirstie goes out to lunch w him and opens up about her life.

It turns out this gentleman is related to her husband. After getting involved w him, Kirstie manages to take a risk and "mess" up her life.

She finally wakes up and realizes she's free from her repressed life and her controlling in-law's and their family.

Her husband realizes he loves her over his family. This movie is a comedic delight. Showcases Kirstie's comedic naturalness and timing. Also she looks so pretty in this movie. Funny, zany, light hearted, cozy and cute movie about suburban living.
