102 minute running time so about the right length, maybe could have been tightened up a little, but this was a sweet story … what a pleasure to watch a PG movie where nobody swears or is covered with tattoos (1987 after all) … I don’t think the screenwriter John Patrick Shanley is gay, but he should be … Cher got Nic Coppola the part over studio objections … it’s a good screenplay (won the Oscar, not that that means anything) and there’s fine acting (except for Nic of course) … I’d say this is a green-go if you’re in the mood for a rom com from the late 1980s, I enjoyed it … and Farr liked it too (“a flavorful, heartwarming delight….”), even though it’s a straight love story.
