It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

I can't believe they made this movie in 1997. It seems one of those 80's comedies. Which is not bad in itself, just the fact it somehow seems really dated. Everything seems to have done before. And audience have seen this many times before. Both Bette Midler and Dennis Farina have played many similar characters lots of times.Just within a few minutes you can guess what is going to happen. Script is predictable and clichéd, dialogs are cheesy straight from 80's. I am just surprised how this movie got to be made.The movie title itself serves as a warning. While watching this movie you also get that old feeling that you have seen it all before.

When I read the synopsis for this film on the t.v. channel, I immediately assumed it was one of those "screwball comedies" of the 1930s. Instead, it turned out to be a "modern" screwball comedy which kept us glued to the screen the whole time. Everything about the film was so enjoyable: the acting of everyone, and above all the clever writing, managing to relate all the main characters in the filmic version of a quadrille. By the looks of things, I would guess that everyone involved thoroughly enjoyed themselves in the making of this film. As always, Bette Midler was supreme, whilst this film yet again showed how brilliant and versatile an actor is Dennis Farina.

This movie has me very confused. Although I don't like watching it, I find myself putting it in the DVD player once a week. Then if finally dawned on me. The plot sucks, but the writing and the acting are absolutely superb. Bette Midler and Dennis Farina had such a chemistry going, it was hard to stop laughing.But you can't forget about the other acting in this movie. Bette and Dennis's current lovers are even more amazingly funny. I found myself wishing that they would be in the movie more, have more lines. Much like on "Will and Grace". Will and Grace are great, but come on, Karen steals the show. The show should be re-titled, "Karen and Jack.". Just have a role reversal, Will and Grace can be the sometimes in the show people, but Jack and Karen own it. And that's how I feel about this movie.
Wonderfully funny, just need to get through the borinnng, sloooow, plot.
