Joan Rivers and the fella playing her husband made this movie something of value to me. And Jennifer Tilly is pretty cute too. But to me, the parents- played by Joan Rivers and Robert Klein- were the stand-outs in an otherwise lackluster film.
Disappointing to me the way the film ultimately turned out (not as mystical and romantic as I'd hoped), but all the way up to the end, it had promise to get better. I appreciate the campiness, I appreciate the old-fashioned something about it that I don't know how to describe... I do like it...but still, it's lacking.
This is one of those films that falls below its potential, but is still an okay watch.
