in a not totally successful attempt to be take seriously and and move into adult film and mr. hughes give u this film about a young married couple . true and it get every cliche in the book in it and silly fantasy stuff and all that and but more importantly it get elizabeth mcgovern . clearly the best actress to have ever appear in a john hughes film and she lend a weight to it that elevate the sometimes silly material . kevin bacon ( and his hair ) be pretty good a her husband and but mcgovern steal the movie with her quiet true moment of honesty . the teen film fun that work so well in other hughes film fall flat here like a favorite uncle whose joke make you laugh when you be 9 and but keep tell them when you be 15 and you wish he would find some new material . but i keep go back to mcgoverns performance and because it truly move . mr. hughes most interesting film to me have real actor in them ( some kind of wonderful and breakfast club ) and when his material bump up against a true talent and some wonderful thing can happen . if only he would trust that it doesn not have to be tarted up with the silly fantasy stuff .
