Highly Overrated But Still Good
I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.
I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.
Watching it is like watching the spectacle of a class clown at their best: you laugh at their jokes, instigate their defiance, and "ooooh" when they get in trouble.
Meg Foster plays a 30-something photographer/artist. Douglas Greenall is a 19 year old adrenaline junkie who races motorcycles. They fall in love and encounter the usual relationship problems. The only thing that saves this film from being a total waste is the appealing nature of the two leads. Other than that, however, this is strictly an unremarkable love story which has been told countless times before. 3/10
