This film is the latest acquisition to my collection of Michael Douglas videos and DVD's, and the IMDb user reviews prepared me for what to expect from the film. The main interest for me was to see Douglas in one of his first films - and to see just the same mannerisms, facial expressions and voice intonations as in his most recent films! The story itself I found mainly improbable - what was the point of the long and irrelevant intro? We needed to see more at that stage of just why Adam was dissatisfied with his life. I also couldn't for the life of me see what Adam found attractive in Jerri-Jo - she was so shallow, surely he could see that from when he first met her?? OK for a summer fling maybe, but getting engaged to her?? Give me a break! The best scenes of the film were those with the labourers - you could understand why he enjoyed being with them - and they were the only scenes that rang true for me. Plus the ice cream tub at the end - nice one! But where did Adam go? Back to his unsatisfying life again? How sad!
