Quotes
Lt. Al Garcia:
[re: Angela]
Why don't you drop her off at our house?
Erin Grant:
I can't do that.
Lt. Al Garcia:
Why not? I told Donna everything. Your whole situation. She said if you needed a hand she'd love to help.
Erin Grant:
She doesn't think I'm something out of "A Current Affair"?
Lt. Al Garcia:
Erin, come on, you're a terrific girl. You know that, right? So you made a mistake a lot of terrific girls make, you married a bum. What are you gonna do? You gonna beat yourself up for the rest of your life?

It may not have mirrored the book, but it has its own charm. I haven't read the book, so maybe that's why I can judge the movie on its own merits.
Ving Rhames is terrific-- honestly, has he ever had a clunker of a performance? Demi is luscious (the dance scenes, and the cute scene where she's getting dressed/dancing after a shower), and Burt Reynolds is hilarious. I really loved the congressman character meeting the right wing group slathered in vaseline. "Fresh, hot, lint!" indeed! Give it a whirl... it ain't Citizen Kane, but it ain't Battlefield Earth either.
