I would say that for 17 years ago, it was pretty progressive. Now the Kline and Selleck characters would probably have the wedding instead of the parents. I'm with you about Joan C. She is wonderful. I think my fave role is in Arlington Road. That smile! And I have to admit that I am quite a fan of Tom Selleck. :<) Nanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15547916206007733970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3185294584889963228.post-50122334892475741282014-05-20T12:36:35.973-04:002014-05-20T12:36:35.973-04:00You're welcome, Nan.

Because he disappears into his roles. <br /><br />I first saw him in A Fish Called Wanda (though up against John Cleese, his character did NOT come off as the smartest man in the room, for once) then in Cry Freedom, and I totally, absolutely could not believe it was the same guy.Susan Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17163152026039153248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3185294584889963228.post-10321118967183092092014-05-16T04:36:53.594-04:002014-05-16T04:36:53.594-04:00Yvette, thanks for a delightful review of this fil...Yvette, thanks for a delightful review of this film, which I'll definitely see because it's funny and because of all the fine actors, especially Kevin Kline and Tom Selleck whose films I try not to miss and, of course, Bob Newhart who I recently saw in "The Big Bang Theory" and Debbie Reynolds who must be pretty old in the film. I couldn't quite place Joan Cusack until I checked out some of her other films. I'm going to go hunting for the DVD of "In & Out."Prashant C.

But admittedly, he does turn in a good performance now and then and I do try to focus solely on that.

I am also a big fan of this movie, and this post reminds me to see it again.<br /><br />Kevin Kline is very talented, and able to do comedy well and drama. I remember him in Silverado, one of the only Westerns I like. He was brilliant in A Fish Called Wanda, and excellent in Cry Freedom about South African apartheid, playing journalist Donald Woods. And on and on.<br /><br />And Joan Cusack was fantastic in this, as in whatever she is in. She is a naturally born comedian, like Lucille Ball or Carol Burnett, who can do physical comedy. Just her facial expressions can start laughter on the part of viewers.<br /><br />So, I must look up more of her movies.<br /><br />And, as for Tom Selleck, he is good-looking, but his politics get in the way for me, too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3185294584889963228.post-91871638572980556682014-05-13T19:09:06.967-04:002014-05-13T19:09:06.967-04:00She is so incredibly talented.

It's a helluva lot of fun! I remember Joan Cusack's crazy rant in this movie more than any other part and was upset she didn't get the Oscar. If Marisa Tomei can win an award for making a speech about car engines (My Cousin Vinny), and Whoopi Goldberg got an Oscar for her annyoing over-the-top turn as a fake psychic, then Joan could've won the statue for that insane breakdown in a wedding gown. She still turns up in bit parts on TV every now and then, but I miss her in parts like this in the movies.J F Norrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06473487417479127354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3185294584889963228.post-27179023285877968562014-05-13T17:40:29.717-04:002014-05-13T17:40:29.717-04:00I haven't seen this one for a while but I reme...I haven't seen this one for a while but I remember liking it quite a bit at the time as a nice variant on your standard romcom - glad to hear t still holds up as it's the sport of of movie than one imagines might feel a bit dated.

We are permanently checking with your suggestions when stuck for something to watch.<br /><br />We have never heard of this film so definitely have not watched it. We have it on our list as our next viewing possibility. It sounds as if it has good mileage and we do like Kevin Kline.Jane and Lance Hattatthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16831890261259302647noreply@blogger.com
