i do not like as good a it get very much and but i be a big fan of william hurt and holly hunter work and so i decide to watch this movie . and the most surprising thing for me be the superb work of albert brook . here and in spain and he little known and and only a a 2nd division version of woody allen in the west coast . he play a great part and but hunter and hurt be good too and specially hurt and in an relatively unusual role for him . hunter play the role that remind me a bit of her part in once around ( lasse hallstrom and 1991 ) . finally and the rest of the cast be great and too . robert prosky and one of these familiar face of the american cinema and the ex bond girl lois chile and pretty good place on that role and i think and the always perfect joan cusack in her early year while and specially the brief appereance of jack nicholson . maybe he doesn not have any good scene and but it jack nicholson and anyway . the best movie by james l. brook and great story ( well resolve ) and and superb cast for one of the and surely and best movie of the 80 .
