Romantic, FUNNY, and it's PG. (PG is good for a first date!)


This is an 80's Classic

While it does not star any of the *Brat Pack* this is definitely an 80's classic. It was one of those movies that used to come on HBO or Showtime like 4 times a day because there were no other movies to show...and I watched it every time. Then in the 90's it turned inot one of the movies that would come on at noon or 1:00 in the afternoon on Saturday on one of the low budget local stations that had no national affiliate (before upn and wb) and you just had to watch it. Now it makes a rare appearance on television, generally on the romance channel, and if you're lucky enough to catch it you just have to watch. It's a really bad story line and the acting isn't oscar calliber, but the cheesy background music and the weirdness of the plot keep you hooked. If you don't buy this video for yourself at least put it on your wish list and maybe someone will buy it for you....that's what I did.

I enjoyed this movie

I have seen this movie more than once. Besides Kristy McNichol, there are many other great actors in it, such as Robert Carradine. I also really like the soundtrack (ABBA!) There are many cute moments in the movie, such as the dance scene and her "wonderful way of speaking french." It is a good movie to see on a lazy afternoon.


I Won't Dance

Originally filmed under the title "I Won't Dance" due to the protagonist's crippled leg, the last-minute switcheroo might've doomed this movie's chances(it now sounds like a rip-off of Billy Joel's unctuous song!). McNichol is really 2 people in this movie: subdued, blandly pleasant Susan in the first half--sassy and silly Susan in the second. What went wrong? McNichol left the project in real life due to a chemical imbalance, and the movie was put on hold for an entire year!(McNichol "recovered" in 2 weeks, but the film's snowy second-half required waiting for another wintry season... No wonder her character doesn't hang together) Fortunately, the script is good, relying on clever dialouge rather than slapstick or farcial situations. And McNichol, despite seeming a bit schizophrenic, really gives this a boost. It would be unwatchable with another, less capable actress. Overall, an enjoyable, breezy couple of hours. Yet the film's real-life troubles can't quite be masked--and what happened to the ending?
