Nice forum for a young Richard Dryfuss and Susan Sarandon. The story line is a little sappy and way too predictable.
All the characters are stereotypical of the times (early 80's). Maybe seeing the movie in 1984 I would have felt differently about the story line. However, in 2001 it seems trite and fixed.
