when you read about this film you wan na cringe . i have see it countless time and yet i cringe myself . so what be the attraction here . i think that for me and it the offbeatness of the romance . i find it super refresh to have an oddball coupling between this nyc jimmy breslin like columnist and a down on her luck ( health wise ) ballerina . you feel embarrass for paul sorvino at his unsubtle approach to woo this woman . like the guy in the bar who can not take a hint . he a bit overweight ( at least a a would be suitor for a ballerina . hope that doesn not sound unkind ) and possibly a tad too old for her . nice change of pace from greek god woo super model . the bill conti score have stick in my head all these year later and which be a pretty good sign . however some of the acting be just dreadful . a subplot involve a young puerto rican boy befriend by sorvino character be just hilariously bad . but the opening scene where ditchburn be warm up to carole king draw you right into this story . good luck find it . you would think that lifetime would be re air this or even we and but i haven not see it on in quite a few year .
