A successful female lawyer decides to divorce her husband, a failed writer.He successfully sues for her to pay him alimony based upon an agreement written on a balloon that she would support him if he put her through law school. The only condition attached by the judge is that if he remarries then the alimony stops. She decides to have her revenge by hiring an actress to seduce him and get him to marry her. Written by Daniel Bruce <danielb@genasys.com.au>
Very relaxing movie, I've seen it a couple of times, and every time I feel entertained. Rosanna Arquette is great, she has a great french accent and she dominates through the movie and Fisher with her presence completes the movie. It is an old movie, and if you catch it on TV, if you watch it, you wouldn't waste time.
Carrie Fisher is a great actress and this movie shows how good she can be in a romantic movie. She uses her calmness, her dignity and her pride to show us how a woman with broken heart could retrieve what she thinks that belong to her.
Maybe this movie didn't get much credit, but it's nice when you see a movie that puts a smile on your face.
