Trivia:
Filmed in 1990. The delay in its release was most likely the result of Orion Pictures' pending bankruptcy, which resulted in many of its films to be briefly shelved (films similarly handled as such includes RoboCop 3 (1993) and Blue Sky (1994) among others). more
Quotes:
Kathy Whiting: I was kind of happy, in a miserable kind of way.

Formerly forbidden fruit on which I fondly remember feasting, 21 December 2006
9/10
Author: Joel (Tenchi64589@aol.com) from Flower Mound, Texas

I remember when I was around the age of 14, this movie used to be on once in a while... on basic cable! Every time it was on, I always watched and enjoyed every single minute. To this day, I still do.

This movie was the reason I wanted to learn how to play the harmonica... not to mention why I got into wearing flannel.

Let's face it: I'm a born romantic and I was hooked from the first watch.

I have it on VHS (which by the way, was a very difficult find) and I refuse to lose it.

I give this underrated great a 9 out of 10.
