melvin and howard be one of those rare movie that be overlook . the 80 be dominate by director john hughes . maybe that why more movie fan haven not hear of melvin and howard . the story of howard hughes contain enough material to make a hundred movie . what stand out here be the story and act . the character of melvin be the classic lovable loser type do to perfection . a i watch i be pull for melvin to make it . he be a dreamer . i love every time the daughter bounce back and forth between parent she would yell bye dad or bye mom . i have no clue mary steenburgen be that hot naked in the 80 . she work in a nude go go bar then quit . before she leave she pull her clothes off walk out in the buff . her backside look magnificent . i recommend this touch heartfelt story .
