I love 80s movies in general but this is pretty bad. The acting especially by Jane Fonda is below average to poor. Raul Julia's talent is completely wasted, and the only halfway decent acting is by Jeff Bridges; if not for him this movie would be utterly terrible. The music is grating, 80's sitcom style unlike a lot of 80s films which hold great soundtracks or original music. The story is woefully under-developed too. It relies too heavily non-existent chemistry of Fonda and Bridges who must have an age difference here of 12 years - and there's little suspense or atmosphere of mystery. There is no supporting cast either. So I recommend giving this one a miss, unless you really like nostalgic sitcomy music with an aging inept Jane Fonda. The final scene is a microcosm of the whole film, with Bridges doing his best to try to hold up scenes that sink.
