Review

offbeat comedy from the great john hughes. it’s tough to watch a hughes film because i have to compare them all to planes trains and automobiles and uncle buck. this isn’t as good as either, but it produces some good laughs and captures what it’s like to be in a listless relationship. i think the alec baldwin character was supposed to be a foil for bacon’s character, but he seemed superfluous. overall it was decent enough and was notable because of its freewheeling style.
