Did I miss something here? Large chunks of the plot line appear to be missing. Was this film radically cut after preview? I can't accuse this film of being boring, (my worst viewing experience) but the story seems to lurch at several points without explanation. It held my interest due to the story and some fine performances by Winger and Bryne. Never a GREAT actor, Barbra Herhsey holds her own here. The surprising performance here to me is David Staithen as the dis-honest, womanizing jerk. I have only seen him in a few films (most recently BLUE CAR) and he usually plays more subtle characters. Here he is really good here and is sometimes funny and sometimes stupid.
Jan Hooks has a wonderful turn as the beauty consultant who does Winger's make over. Very funny.
It may be worth your time but don't count on it to be very logical.
