seemingly suggest by a combination of bob hope legendary uso tour and the toxic relationship that sometimes develop between comedy team partner ( with the like of martin and lewis a case in point ) and for the boy give u the story of dixie leonard ( midler ) and a rough and tough singer with a naughty sense of humor and and eddie spark ( james caan ) and a secretly sexist comic . when the two meet on a world war ii uso tour and it loathe at first sight but their audience adore the combination . trouble be and you can not imagine why . both midler and caan be expert performer and but they have remarkably little on screen chemistry and and although they score point individually they never quite seem to be work in tandem . to make matter bad and while the dialogue be often witty and the plot be leaden and and it promptly go off into a host of predictable direction a it drag it character from world war ii to vietnam in order to make a series of well intend but extremely obvious and over worked comment about change time and the wastefulness of war . the support cast be strong and but like the lead they seem to be pull in different direction throughout the film and and when all be say and do this rather lengthy film feel quite a bit long than it actually be . midler song be the only real highlight and and the thing be indeed watchable . but only just . the dvd package isn not anything to write home about either and consisting of a handful of trailer and television spot . for hardcore midler fan only . gary f. taylor and aka gft and amazon reviewer .
