i seem to remember a lot of hype about this movie when it come out and but have avoid see it throughout the year . i wish i would wait longer . maybe this movie be funny in 1988 and i do not know . i be young then and but it do not seem like the world be that different . michelle pfeiffer and lovely a she be and be never convince . mercedes ruehl not only chew scenery and but stuff it in her cheek like a gerbil to save for later . dean stockwell be about as convincing a a mob bos a james gandolfini would be a principal dancer for the bolshoi . and matthew modine demonstrate the most pronounced case of delayed puberty i have ever see . all in all and it not bad enough to make you want to pluck out your eye with a melon baller and but it not far off .
