i remember have a pretty low regard for a venture like this when it be first release . james not jim belushi and a hammy kid actress and and a cheesy title in a john hughes formula . you couldn not have pay me to see it 15 year ago . but and i get catch up watch it while waste away a sunday afternoon and and it hit me on a couple of level . the fairy tale ( part pretty woman and part reverse pretty woman ) and the very vulnerable and elizabeth_perkins_in_miracle_on_42nd_street like performance by kelly lynch and the escapism . over all and it gently pull some very nice string . it pretty hard not to fall into the story and develop a crush on kelly lynch and identify with james belushi and dislike the stiff bad guy boyfriend and and laugh at the curley sue line . have all the ups and down and with a happy end and and the kind of message you want to hear . go ahead and waste your time on this movie and it worth it .
