Featured review
More than a few laughs!
The casting of Midler and Long was a stroke of genius. Midler's bad girl character and Long's purist artiste were a delightful combination and set the scene for a battle of wills. It was great to see John Schuck again! Why does he remind me of Nixon?! Some great comic scenes, especially the final jete, which must be seen to be believed.
