    Funny movie Well worth the watch

    I wish i could get this movie into my DVD collection been trying now for more than 15 years and my poor old beta max copy is dead now more lines than amtrak o'well back to movie.Well this film ain't going to win any Oscars but most fun made for TV films would not even be thought of the music is good and the story line ain't bad but what makes it is the chemistry you get from the cast ,to me i think they had fun doing this movie and if they have fun then most of time it comes across to us humans too.Racheal ward is supper as the main hottie and Anthony LaPaglia is funny as Judge Reinhold cousin,the scenes with anthony haunting judge reinhold are amusing to see some one go crazy is amusing to me any way good luck to all if you have a chance to see the movie do......
