    Tries to be a more serious John Hughes. Not so successful.

    I guess this was supposed to be a romantic comedy. Only problem is, it's not that funny.

    I enjoyed this one. I thought Robert Downey Jr and Molly Ringwald had great chemistry and made the film really work. Not to mention great supporting cast by Harvel Keital and Dennis Hopper. Story wasn't anything magnificent, but then again, most romantic movies don't. Overall it'...( read more)s worth a watch because it is enjoyable to see Robert and Molly on the screen together.

    Do you know you have the plot of a rerun and the vision of a blind man? Oh wait I think it was a body of a botticello (sp) yeah yeah yeah it tried to be cute and ended up way corny. If you are trying to relive the 80's teen films this is one to avoid

    Robert is enchanting in his first lead role at 20. You see the promise right from the beginning as he charms the girls and everyone else around him.

    Ladies' man Robert Downey Jr. puts the make on gutsy Molly Ringwald with lines Cleopatra would have recognised. Downey displays as much charisma as a pot plant and would have trouble picking up a cold. Proof positive that it is possible to have Danny Aiello, Dennis Hopper and Har...( read more)vey Keitel in a film and for it still to be unbearably tedious.
