a ladies man learns to really love, 2 April 1999
10/10
Author: helpless_dancer from Broken Bow, Oklahoma

A man who knows only how to use and discard women dies prematurely. He is offered acceptance into heaven only if he goes back to earth in the form of a woman and really loves someone. This was a very funny program; Ellen Barkin was wonderful as the man in a woman's body. The ending was a real tear jerker, so have a hanky ready. 5 stars.
