Al Pacino &Michel phifer are wonderful together in this bitter sweet romantic comedy
Neither Al or Michelle's finest work ever, but cool & left field type of rom-com that's still a nice 2 hours 2 watch with a date if poss'?👌
Not the best one, but unlike most others, feels real.
Pacino is so entertaining in this. The writing of the interactions with Pfeiffer is perfect. The rare romcom that appeals to men.
One of the few romantic movies that portrays a more accurate picture of relationships, especially considering when it was made.
Two struggling people, ex-con & waitress try to heal one another & survive in the world as a couple. Based on stage play. some nice touches.
A gem of a film. The dialogue is excellent. We were robbed of not seeing Al Pacino in more roles like this.
The only romantic film I truly love. To me, this is the only possibility when someone says "let's see a romantic movie".
Really liked this! Pacino ja Pfeiffer have a good chemistry
Good romantic comedy with a good story. One of the few movies where I felt they deserved each other.
