Goofs

I am a member of Hanaford's Volunteers Fyfe and Drum Corps of Underhill, VT. Our Corps (and I) are depicted in this film with pompom girls. Our Corps represents the 18th Century, the Green Mountain Boys. There were no pom pom girls back then, nor do we march with any now! We still laugh over this! See more »

Surprisingly effective
30 June 1999 | by Dave-301 – See all my reviews

This is quite a surprise -- a real charmer of a movie. Who knew that Don Johnson and Susan Sarandon could co-exist in the same movie -- and play so well? And with Elizabeth Perkins and Jeff Daniels, the charm and the good looks just ooze off the screen.
