The Favor (1994)
Cute little movie, Bill Pulman and Elizabeth McGovern make it worth watching.

Warning: Spoilers
CAUTION - ALL SPOILERS FOLLOW -- (Note: Milt Oberman, Sabmaggot, has a small part, almost says one word during scene on childbirth preparation.)

Her friend asks McGovern's character to look up an old boyfriend in Denver during a routine business trip. She does, has a one-night stand, and this messes up her friend's (Harley Jane Kozak)mind. Meanwhile McGovern is dating Brad Pitt, an artist, and they are having trouble commiting. Bill Pullman is the harmonica-playing nerd of a college professor married to Kozak, and begins to follow his wife around, thinking she is having an affair.

Everyting comes to a head in Denver, the old boyfreind is just a playboy, Pitt and McGovern decide to stay together with their child on the way. Pullman and Kozak re-affirm their love.

It is a very pleasant film, and actually has a good message - those in our past are seldom what we fantasize, and don't take your mate for granted.
