Another ANN-Margret WINNER!!!!, 3 August 2001
Author: FORREST136 (ForrestandEthel@aol.com) from New York City

Sexy Ann- Margret still has what it takes! This wonderful overlooked drama/comedy has everything! Kelly Preston plays her daughter that cannot hold onto her boyfriend after he meets Ann- Margret! She still has to be one of the sexiest screen talents around! This 1987 film was not received well by the critics but is worth seeing! Especially if you love Ann-Margret!

HaHaHa, Cute! Real CUTE!, 11 October 2004
7/10
Author: Brian T. Whitlock (GOWBTW) from WILMINGTON, NC

This movie is rather cute in a lot of ways. It's nothing like "White Palace", yet some of the scenes is quite similar. Breaking up is a painful thing, but your new girlfriend is your ex's mother? OK! I SEE! There is a tiger in the movie along with other animals as well. Lot's of sex is in the movie, I liked the drive-in scene when Howell's and Margret's characters were involved. I liked the part when she removes her top, then fire ants ruin the fun and they ran home naked. That is a howl! Then the ex-girlfriend sees them running. BUSTED! in every way. She's not only seeing the streaking, but she's unknowingly flashing unsuspecting strangers. That is really, REALLY FUNNY! Those scenes are a killer. And the ex-husband finds out and gets a new girlfriend only to get himself shot by her. I didn't like the part when the tiger ate the toy dog. The family should have been forewarned about it. I enjoyed the movie very well. It was cute a very memorable. It's definitely for the broken-hearted and the horny! Extremely sexy, and very well made. HAHAHA! RATING 2 OUT OF 5 STARS

7 OUT OF 10!

Weird in a Wonderful Way, 15 May 2007
Author: agent-too from Portland, OR

Admittedly, I first found this film while looking for more C. Thomas Howell vehicles (he's such a dream in The Hitcher, isn't he?), but I was blown away by what I found. This movie actually features a romantic relationship between Tom Howell and Ann-Margret, Kelly Preston as the ultimate whore, tiger wrestling, male nudity, and the oddest William Zabka role I think I've ever seen. (Sweet, dumb and Southern?) I don't think anyone could defend this as a particularly amazing film, but it has a lot to offer and will surely entertain you in a slack-jawed kind of way. Great for 80's fans, better for Ann-Margret fans, and absolutely perfect for anyone who's ever longed to see a little of Tom Howell's butt.

I LOVE THIS MOVE!!!!, 13 September 2002
10/10
Author: LINGLANG28 from Senoia, Georgia

I loved this movie. I was not an Ann Margret fan at all, but after seeing this movie, I think she is great! It is a "Chick Flick"! But very funny, heartwarming and entertaining!She continues to look great for her age and her performance of a middle aged nurse involved with a soon to be college student and she finds her self in a situtation she didn't think would happen.

Neither shameful nor disastrous, 15 March 2002
Author: extempore from USA

I agree with Roger Ebert's '87 review; this movie is unfocused. Concentrate on the Ann-Margret and young man's relationship with an open mind. The relationship may not be common but if realism were the criterion for excellence in a movie, what (I include "documentaries" and "news footage") would qualify?

This movie is mainly for Ann-Margret fans and those who like a little twist to the confusions of life, at whatever age.

Cute Movie!, 4 June 2002
10/10
Author: ldkoke from USA

Ann-Margret is great in this movie. This is just a simple story of the boy next door falling in love with his girlfriends mother. Kelly Preston's performance in this movie is probably the best part. This movie is good fun. It's definetly worth checking out!

Great movie, but hard to find., 12 August 2011
10/10
Author: sunjet-661-629547 from United States

Loved this movie when I saw it on a layover, on t.v....in Australia of all places. 3 years after it was released. It's Anne-Margret in her sexiest self with a great story.

This film has come to mind time and again. I've checked video stores, even Netflix for a copy. But to no avail.

If your lucky enough to catch this movie on t.v., record it!! For it's one of those excellent yet hard to come by titles you wish you could watch once a year.

If anyone has any leads on how to find a copy, please speak up. I for one would love to experience this film again.

A-M's the greatest!, 20 December 2002
10/10
Author: Ann-MargretGrL

Wonderful Ann-Margret never fails to amaze me. She's just adorable in this movie, and I loved her character Rose. I found the relationship between Rose and Bubber to actually be quite believable. A-M just never does wrong by me. Loved this movie, Love Ann-Margret, It was sweet! Especially the ending!=) ~Tina~

Cute!, 8 August 2003
Author: Dean Norris (dnorris@k7no.com) from Phoenix, AZ

Funny and insightful of the teen love of an older woman. And who wouldn't love A-M no matter what the age difference. In my case, only a few weeks! She is sexy and beautiful and he is love-struck. Smarmy ending but entirely plausible.
