worth watching

decent film and humorous. Mariel Hemingway plays the role perfectly. a funny film and enjoyable as she tries to deal with her feelings.the situations she gets into is funny and the way she gets out is also funny.when i heard the plot i didn't think Mariel Hemingway could do such a role. i was wrong.
