Al Pacino, Michelle Pfeiffer, Nathan Lane, Kate Nelligan and Hector Elizondo star in Garry Marshall's 1991 romance comedy-drama based on a play, "Frankie and Johnny in the Clair De Lune." This takes place in New York where we meet Johnny (Pacino), an ex-con who gets a job working as a short-order cook. We also meet waitress, Frankie (Pfeiffer) who is afraid of starting over because of her past, abusive marriage. Johnny also had a failed marriage, but when he meets Frankie, he instantly falls for her. She's reserved at first, but eventually tries to move on with him. Lane (The Birdcage) plays Frankie's neighbor friend, Tim, Nelligan (Dracula) plays waitress, Cora and Elizondo (Pretty Woman) plays boss, Nick. This is a pretty good romance flick that also references the love song. Pacino & Pfeiffer not only reunite 8 years after "Scarface," but are good in this and have great chemistry. I recommend this.
