    A 90s rom com starring Melanie Griffith and Don Johnson that's basically a cheap knock off of Pygmalion with a shabby blackmail plot tacked on. As good as it sounds.

    Melanie Griffith is a total charmer in this but everyone else is just okay.

    Okay remake of the classic 1950 film. If course, it can't hold a candle to the original, but it is such a good story it would be hard to mess it up, and it does follow the original very closely. The cast is fine, Don Johnson is surprisingly effective.
