I have to say that I did not expect much from this film. I essentially bought it as I really like Diane Lane and had not seen much of her early work.
First off the performances in the movie are decent if not great. Diane Lane is certainly beautiful enough to be believable and her acting performance is okay too. Cloris Leachman although a little agitating at times gives a good performance as her chaperone. Brian Kerwin is passable, one of the better performance is probably from David Dukes as the sleazy vice president of public relations. The actors who play Lane's parents are okay although the performance of the actor playing her father is fairly flat at times, The actress that plays her Mother gives a slightly better performance. The direction is that of your basic made for TV fare, but somehow the presence of Lane seems to make the film more interesting. Her character certainly goes through changes in the movie and all the attention she gets seems initially strange, she grows to enjoy being in the spotlight and getting attention and the trappings that come with it. Which eventually takes a toll on her family and her romance with Michael (Brian Kerwin).
This is certainly not a deep movie or a moving experience, but it is a decent way to spend 97mins and if you like Diane Lane I suggest you buy this.
