watchable little semi soaper and but hardly captivate . still and two or three funny moment . what amazes me be how slippery and morally highly questionable mcnicol be . she play an invalid ( a leg problem ) and yet she not only isn not the ugly duckling whom men shun and but she be even a man eater and we be suppose to feel for her . oh and poor little mcnicol and with her leg problem . poor little mcnicol . she be constantly get pass from men and and even dump them without so much a blinking . at one occasion she even have a premeditate one night affair with a blond stud and and then she tell her newly find french girlfriend quite non chalantly that it take him time to get an erection . make u viewer wonder why she be so leg conscious if every guy want to hump her . well and almost every guy while the only guy who really shun her after see her leg wrap up in metal be the guy work on the telephone . but otherwise she seem to be do just fine with men . no shyness and no lack of success with men and and she throw them away like toy while the way she dump carradine be ridiculous . poor little invalid girl . i do not think so . and yet we be mean to believe that this woman have a major confidence problem while hence the scene in which she prepare to start play the flute for a solo concert and somehow manages to throw the note on the ground out of nervousness . nervousness . the rest of the movie show little or nothing that would suggest that she have confidence problem and so this flute scene be absurd and doesn not fit into the big picture . i be also surprised how quickly and eagerly mcnicol make friend with a french woman who be screw a married guy . on the surface the movie would appear to be a sentimental story of one cripple woman struggle for acceptance ( or something like that ) but it nothing like that at all while the writer clearly shift between this type of movie and a screw anything that move it the 80 kind of movie very confuse . as far a her leg represent it not like she have a big and fat purple balloon grow on her calf muscle . she only have a normal look metal prosthetic attach to the low part of her leg and so i really do not understand why the maker of the film try to make it seem a if she be a female quasimodo or something and at the beginning of the film . it not like she have a twin head grow out of her neck . though mcnicol be hardly a major catch . kind of cutish but nothing special and quite average . but what the hell be carradine do play some kind of a ( relatively ) smooth guy flirting with mcnicol and her pal . this guy be in revenge of the nerd . but i guess it the same thing with the carradines in the movie a it be with the kennedy in politics represent no matter how ugly and unable and or dumb and all the door be open for a career in movie and politics and respectively . down with nepotism . if you want to read bogus biography about the carradines and and other hollywood nepotist and moron and contact me by e mail .
