I look forward to seeing this DVD. I haven't had a chance to watch it yet though. Thanks again for the DVD.

This film is a real sleeper! I doubt that it received much publicity at the time it came out, but it is a great story with John Lithgow and Teri Garr. It has been described as a black comedy with some romance that is very underplayed by the various characters. It was filmed in San Pedro, CA, and it is a pleasure to recognize some of the locations. Bruce McGill and Randy Quaid contribute to the small cast. The story moves along quite nicely and holds your attention throughout.

I oblige you to own this movie! It's a "must own" movie. Good actors and interesting story.

Many people will watch 80s films for the nostalgia. "Police Academy" and "16 Candles" will never be of high acclaim, but they can make many people happy. This is not the case here. A continuing theme here is about being locked in a meat locker and I find that creepy, rather than funny or entertaining. The villain is so hateful that you can tell how the scriptwriters did not want viewers to sympathize with him. If you like burly hairy types (with that Robin Williams or Ron Jeremy look), you will enjoy the men who show all their business early in the film. Also, fans of "Third Rock from the Sun" may love seeing John Lithgow. However, this film has few redeeming features. There are other 80s movies to peep, rather than this one.
