I remember liking this a lot as well...one of three films Cher appeared in 1987.....the other two being The Witches of Eastwick and Moonstruck.

The surprise ending was great.

I saw it in '87, but I remember absolutely nothing about it. I'm sure it was green-lighted because of the success of The Jagged Edge.

I haven't seen this in a number of years, but I recall liking it a lot.

It came out the same year as Moonstruck proving Cher could have had a long career as a "serious" actress if she had chosen to go that route. I believe it was filmed after Moonstruck but released first.

It was written by Eric Roth (Forrest Gump, Munich, The Good Shepherd, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button) and directed by Peter Yates (Bullitt, Breaking Away, The Dresser, The Run of the Country).

Is there any director of the last forty years with as erratic a career as Yates? In addition to the fondly remembered films mentioned above he also gave us the hapless John and Mary, the hopeless Eyewitness, the dismal Curtain Call and the dreary TV remake of A Separate Peace.

The plot is basically built around one-liners. Had forgotten how amusingly foul mouthed the script is. Kirstey Alley and Judy Davis are very funny as the two hysterical females in Allen's life while Hazel Goodman is also very funny as the intelligent and contrastingly (as compared to all the other female characters in the film) calm hooker.

The much maligned Richard Benjamin is also around in great randy form.

Actually the film is from 1997.

I enjoyed it so much. Right now, the sliding out of focus idea is a recurrent joke in my own life, using the expresion/term quite often.

The Visitor

7/10

Melancholic and deep. Jenkins is great.

Actresses (2007) Valeria Bruni Tedeschi 7/10

Echo (2007) Anders Morgenthaler 2/10

Chris and Don: A Love Story (2008) Tina Mascara & Guido Santi 9/10

Beautifully realized documentary about the 34 years relationship of writer Christoper Isherwood & Don Bachardy who was 30 years younger than Isherwood.

The film contains priceless archive footage and I'd think that anyone with an interest in 'old' Hollywood would find the film very interesting.

Watchmen - 5/10

Astonishing irrelevance. More above.

New in Town (2009) Jonas Elmer 4/10

Tired and generic.

In Bruges - 9/10

Seriously brilliant. Colin Farrell, Brendan Gleeson and Ralph Fiennes at the top of their game.

Baby Mama - 3/10

I never would've suspected a film featuring Tina Fey, Amy Poehler, Steve Martin and John Hodgman could be so devoid of jokes. Tina really need to do a ghostwrite of the script.

Ed Wood (Tim Burton) 6.5/10

Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist (Peter Sollett) 5/10

Colour Me Kubrick (Brian Cook) 5.5/10

Dick (Andrew Fleming) 6/10

Back to School (Alan Metter) 4/10

Basically zero script, all Rodney Dangerfield does is spew one-liners all over the place. Had its charm and some hilarious bits, but pretty underwhelming.
