i love this movie and have watch it more than any other film i own . what make it for me be the subtle face acting of the two lead whose comic timing be perfect . meryl streep and goldie hawn have never be so good ( plus this be the only film in which bruce willis doesn not do his trademark smirk even once ) . every role be play to perfection and the script be a comedy work of art . i would not bother defend it to those people who need their joke hammer home to them by comedy actor whose only way of get a laugh be to gurn and fart . each to their own .
