i tried hard not like this movie without succeeding .
|
|
it contains parts of bringing up baby , any hepburn/tracy film , part of the plot of war games , cary grant and rosalind russell in his girl friday , elevator shaft action , train action , and murder .
|
|
it is cute , funny , suspenseful ( a little bit ) , sexy ( a little bit ) .
|
|
one of the bad guys was a surprise .
|
|
the pace is fast enough , there are some " action " scenes .
|
|
i think that this is a reasonable family summer movie for families with older kids who have already seen maverick .
|
|
julia roberts and nick nolte are fine separately and together .
|
|
i really identified with the julia roberts character ( wishful thinking , i know ! ) , but i do have better hair !
|
|
her hair , a very dull dark brown , has no color .
|
|
she could use some highlights .
|
|
they both do fine with their roles : he's a bored columnist with the chicago chronicle and she's a hotshot " cub " reporter with the chicago globe .
|
|
they have great fun trying to out scoop each other to solve one case throughout this movie .
|
|
i like the one story focus .
|
|
other actors include charles martin smith as roberts' boss , olympia dukakis as nolte's coworker , nora dunn also with the chronicle , and marsha mason as a congresswoman .
|
|
basically this movie is reasonably fun .
|
|
there is a serious mystery to solve , and i enjoyed following a fun couple solving the mystery .
|
|
it is a pleasant change of pace from movies that take themselves seriously .
|
|
i do give successful comedy high marks .
